Historians Cameron Thorne and Amanda Spencer-Gunn discover a 14th-century journal which confirms a long-rumored historical heresy: The medieval Church outlawed the Knights Templar because the warrior monks were secretly worshiping the ancient Goddess. The journal also sucks Cam and Amanda into the orbit of a ruthless cabal of modern-day pagans intent on pushing America into the loving arms of the Goddess—whether America wants succor there or not.Based on actual historical artifacts, and illustrated.Says Midwest Book Review: "“A gripping story of Goddess worship from ancient to modern times.”This stand-alone novel is book #7 in the "Templars in America" series.

4.0 out of 5 stars Love this series!!
Reviewed in the United States on October 1, 2023

The author combines history and inventive storylines with very likeable characters . The use of actual artifacts helps carry the main plotline through the series. There are just enough bits of speculative fantasy and legend to hold a reader's interest.

I think anyone who enjoys history and legend would have a good time with these books.

Appropriate for older teens,too.

The author does caution that persons who hold certain religious beliefs may find these books disturbing.

3.0 out of 5 stars Pretty unbelievable
Reviewed in the United States on May 4, 2022

It was fairly entertaining. I liked all the factual information. However, so much was very hard to internalize. Worshipping the Goddess? Comparable to worshiping the myth of Jesus, in my opinion. Amazing what people dreamed up in past years right up to the present. Many coincidences in the story that were pretty far fetched. I read the first 2 books but not sure if I will read the next.

4.0 out of 5 stars Historical mystery
Reviewed in the United States on May 5, 2019

Similar to the Da Vinci Code, the story is intriguing and action oriented. I took a point off because the three main characters all disappointed me. Cameron is supposed to be smart and good at solving clues and mysteries but he couldn't see that the woman in his office asking attorney client privilege questions was involved in his sting? He didn't think to show Amanda the texts from her phone? Not believable for the character. Don't even get me started on Amanda, even after having proof that the pictures were faked in a previous book she didn't believe, trust or forgive Cam all because she'd been cheated on? Even though he didn't have any time to cheat, swore he didn't do it, asked her to trust him. Then the minute something about came up again she went off again, trust wouldn't have rebuilt that fast and her on off switch was unbelievable. In this story she's mad that he didn't trust her with another set up after what she put him through the first time, saying even though she knew it was fake she couldn't unsee it. No trust would make the relationship die. What twelve year old orphan taken into a loving family that jumped threw hoops to get her would just throw it away to stay at a school? On the basis of a picture and again a smart man worries more about his income than his family? All that made me so disgusted with the characters. Especially because each of them had been through similar stuff in previous stories so they should have trusted each other or at least had reasonable doubt. I did enjoy the information, the presentation so the reader can look for themselves and the theories

As the Templar, reborn into Freemasonry, researchers continue to decipher ancient texts and maps of hidden treasure and secrets, both Cameron Thorne and his wife, Ananda, are again drawn into the thrilling world of prophecy and controversial historical facts. Again, author David Brody, has spun a tale of mystery and intrigue that questions the history of the churches of the world intertwined with the age-old adoration of the Sacred Feminine as he continues the story of the Destiny of the fortieth princess in the guise of their daughter, Astarte and the revelations of what was the true treasure of the Templars hidden in America. A fast and compelling read for history buffs alike.!

Historical fiction. Adventure, intrigue, lil-bit of sex. What's not to like to like. Except of course, I'd like it to be longer. But I always want that.

First off, congrats to the reading/editing team, hardly any typos here. For me it's a sign of well produced text.
The story flows nicely, the imagery it generates is also good. No real 'dead spots' and a fast enough pace.
