What if the greatest story ever told was not the whole story?
Rome, AD 66.
Daniel has been sent from Jerusalem by Judas of Galilee on a dangerous mission: recover the First Crown, a legendary relic said to hold the power to change the destiny of Judea.
His search leads him to the humble home of an old carpenter.
Waiting there is something impossible.
The Crown of Thorns.
But the carpenter will not surrender it easily. Before Daniel can claim the relic, he must listen to a story-a secret account of Jesus of Nazareth and the events that changed the world forever.
Judas Iscariot. Thomas. Peter. Pontius Pilate. Barabbas. Lazarus.
Names history remembers.
But perhaps not as they truly were.
As the carpenter reveals what happened behind the Last Supper, the miracles, the betrayal of Judas, the crucifixion and the resurrection, Daniel discovers that faith and truth are far more complex than he ever imagined.
What if Judas was not the traitor?
What if some miracles concealed extraordinary acts of courage, sacrifice and human ingenuity?
What if the final days of Jesus were part of a plan so audacious that the truth had to remain hidden?
And what if one last secret has survived for more than thirty years?
