A.D. 55 finds Mary Magdalene leading a double life, both as the beloved disciple of the crucified Jesus and also as Susannah, wealthy heir to an extensive international perfume business. As Magdalene, she holds even more secrets. Only women know about the Marys, a group of wise women devoted to initiating young girls into the mysteries of womanhood. Their association is said to date back to the first Mary, Miriam, the sister of Moses. Now, all the identities threaten to merge, exposing both Susannah and Magdalene to Roman persecution. It’s time to leave Jerusalem. Petra, fabled rose-red capitol of the independent Nabateans, offers respite from Rome. So the journey begins. It will stretch backwards and forwards through time, introduce her to forbidden ceremonies and bring her face to face with her past.
