From his privileged access to centuries of suppressed Templar, Vatican, and monastic archives, Laurence Gardner presents documented evidence of Mary Magdalene's true role and secret marriage to Jesus, her connection to the Knights Templar and the real relationship between the Magdalene and the Holy Grail. Gardner’s detective trail takes us from Mary’s marital relationship with Jesus to her subsequent exile from Judea, and the documented persecution of her heirs by a succession of Roman emperors. The Magdalene Legacy goes far beyond the controversies stirred up by The Da Vinci Code (140508, £3.95). Here are explosive revelations about the mystery of the Magdalene, from one of the world’s most respected researchers on the subject.
