Magdalen Rising: The Beginning

A feminist historical fantasy. Magdalen meets and loves Jesus in Druid College during his ‘lost years.’

Young Magdalen and Jesus, brimming with youthful charm and arrogance, find each other and fall in love, forging a bond that is stronger than death. Their pleasure is overshadowed by a brilliant but unbalanced druid who knows a perilous secret about Maeve’s past. The prequel to The Passion of Mary Magdalen.
