Thistle Society (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798369446928)

Rory Blas goes to New Orleans to open the Garden District house his wife, Tess,
inherited from her grandmother, Emma Darling. A series of strange events and
dreams launch him on a journey to find evidence linking King Arthur and his
knights to foreshadow the Second Coming of Christ. Emma's will brings an
eclectic group together to carry out her mandate for the Thistle Society. College
friends who have gone separate ways, a soothsayer, and a neighbor pledge to
partake in a cause greater than themselves. Arthurian artifacts in Emma's keeping
are sent to Rome to be housed in the Vatican by the Thistle Foundation. Rory's
quest takes him to Rome, Wales, and the Holy Land. The themes of the story
are renewal of faith and forgiveness.
