The Angel Scroll a
Mesmerizing Blend of Romance and Mystery Pulsating With Love
and Prophecy
NEW YORK — In The Angel Scroll, author Penelope
Holt transports readers on a thrilling hunt for three
miraculous paintings that are destined to usher in
enlightenment. The author combines romance and mystery with
the race to find sacred artifacts in a story that explores
ancient truths and the modern world.
Haunted by enigmatic dreams, middle-of-the-road artist and
recently widowed Claire Lucas creates a mesmerizing painting
of a dying woman in India that creates a sensation when it's
hung in a Manhattan art gallery. When she meets widowed
antiquarian Richard Markson, Claire discovers that her
remarkable painting is prophesied by the Angel Scroll, an
ancient Dead Sea parchment dating back to the time of
Christ, and is one-third of an extraordinary triptych that
will generate enlightenment for the New Age. Richard and
Claire’s quest to recover the stolen scroll and assemble all
three paintings ushers in Claire’s transformation and sparks
romance between them.
As the couple tours America, Europe and the
Holy Land, their attraction grows but is overshadowed by
painful secrets from the past that threaten the promise of
love and a life together. Driven on their mission by
inexplicable, unseen forces, they encounter human evil that
extracts a cruel price, as Claire gradually uncovers a
devastating secret: The Scroll's prophecy foretells healing
for others but may predict her death. The race is on to gift
the world a new visual gospel and save Claire from a fate
that was written millennia ago.
The Angel Scroll challenges
readers to expand their view of reality to incorporate
psychic phenomena and metaphysical claims. The author weaves
fascinating accounts of the world’s most sacred sites and
ancient traditions into a modern-day epic full of
revelations and transformational characters, including a
Benedictine monk, a Buddhist and a professor of ancient
Goddess worship. Together, they invite Claire to challenge
old beliefs and open herself up to the miraculous.
