A first person restoration of Mary Magdalene's life, born from an author's profound sense of being summoned to tell her story.
Growing up in Bethany near Jerusalem, Mary becomes a woman shaped by trauma, spiritual yearning, and an unshakeable intuition that her life is bound to forces greater than empire or tradition. When she encounters a teacher whose presence stirs her unseen world, she steps into a destiny that will challenge the narratives powerful men later construct. In time, she is named Magdalene— the Tower—a title reflecting her unique role in the unfolding Christian story.
Told entirely in Mary's own voice, this novel reveals the hidden currents beneath familiar history: the mystical experiences, inner awakenings, and dangerous truths that shaped a movement destined to transform the world. Her journey unfolds not as legend, but as lived reality— intimate, raw, and illuminated from within.
