The Thorn of the Holy Crown

"Oh, Rachel," cries Shiloh, as he grabs her around the waist and presses his head against her. "I do not know what to do. I am so entirely lost and so alone. The very joy of life has been taken from me! How can I go on? I have lost all of my tomorrows! All of them."
***
On the day of the terrible ordeal of Jesus, Isaac finds a single remnant of the Crown of Thorns. This symbolic entity, adorned with Holy blood, is in his family for generations, before there are reports of miracles emanating from the sole surviving fragment.

Entrusted to Shiloh, a descendant of Isaac, The Thorn appears to cease its wonders, after Satan induces him to use it in a gamble for personal gain. God knows that foolishness is not the lackluster occurrence of chance; it is the determined choice, erroneously selected in good faith, which skirts humanity nearer to destruction.

The inheritance of The Thorn Of The Holy Crown leaves Shiloh encumbered by a responsibility that he is not yet mature enough to handle. The Thorn is magnificently capable of working miracles, but only once per person. Against his wishes, his wife uses that power to make their daughter into the beautifully artistic person that envisions her own dream. Later when their daughter is desperately ill, The Thorn is of no use to them. In time, even Shiloh weakens and uses The Thorn for a devilish desire, which immediately causes it to turn to dust. Years will pass prior to The Thorn returning to its majestic form, which allows it to save the new family of Shiloh.

If you are looking for adventure, then you will want to check out this ambitious blend of religion, action and romance! There is just enough of the right kind of detail to make you feel as if you are there and living among characters that are congenial and believable. All of the characters present memorable and deeply human emotions, as they traverse the pitfalls of life. The intense relationships between them are as much a part of this story as the twisting sequence of events.

The Thorn presents a roller coaster of emotions that will not let the reader ignore them, while the complexities of the characters will make you wish you could chase their dreams and tolerate their fears.

The Thorn blends action, romance, history and geography all into wonderful stories of religious diversity. Travel with Shiloh as he enjoys life, marries, travels across half the known world, suffers terribly, makes a fortune and settles down with a place of his own, simply to be torn apart by the demands of a lovely woman.

Based on a myriad of actual occurrences, these stories are written in the time honored ortho-thespian composition to allow the more esteemed reader an impression of viewing an on stage performance with less fluff and additional moments of value. The Thorn is appropriate reading for the entire family.
