In this captivating novel, Barbara Hand Clow, a renowned bestselling author and esteemed spiritual teacher, weaves a tale of romance, profound earth forces, psychic powers, the aristocracy, and Vatican world control unveiled through an ancient ruby that ignites mystical visions.

Set in Rome in 2012, the story revolves around Sarah Adamson, a beautiful young Catholic graduate student from Boston pursuing her thesis on the first Christian heretic, Marcion of Pontus, at the Vatican Library. She finds herself courted by two distinct men: Simon Appel, a descendant of the kabbalist Isaac Luria who covers Vatican affairs for the New York Times, and Armando Pierleoni, the scion of an ancient Italian aristocratic family with deep ties to the Vatican.

After a harrowing encounter with the dark side at a castle in Tuscany, Sarah is bestowed with a ring adorned with a ruby crystal, a powerful stone once the third eye of an ancient Buddha statue in Nepal. With the mystic ring on her finger, Sarah's visionary abilities are awakened, and she recalls her past life as the Sibyl of Cumae, a Roman oracle whose powers are now channeled by the Vatican to maintain global control. As Sarah's research and visions expose the root of evil within the Church and Simon's reporting reveals the depth of the sexual abuse scandals surrounding the Vatican, the two forge an alliance with Claudia, an ex-lover of both Simon and Armando, who divulges secret priestly power rituals taking place within Vatican City.

As the heightened energies of the winter solstice of 2012 approach and 2013 dawns, will Simon and Sarah be able to harness their divine powers for transformation? Will the Vatican seek a new direction as it elects a new pope? This novel delves into the very essence of how evil enters the world, offering a captivating blend of romance, mystery, and her.
