Book Description

March 21, 2000
The mystery - what does Elise find in the hidden compartment of an old trunk she buys on Nantucket? Ancient manuscripts with shocking information! Jesus was married! His descendants led the First Crusade! Elise also finds a necklace which moves her psychically back to the romance and violence of the Crusades, and links her to a young woman named Katherine. Elise finds her life mirroring Katherine's, as they both find love, and Elise, too, must fight for her survival against mysterious enemies who want to destroy her!

The Defenders of the Holy Grail are sworn to protect the family of Jesus. Elise learns of them through the psychic bridge of the ancient necklace, and learns their secrets!

5.0 out of 5 stars A Great Book with Two Themes, July 18, 2000
By A Customer
This review is from: Defenders of the Holy Grail (Paperback)
Ken Agori has written a provocative novel that captures your attention from the start. The initial plot about a New England school teacher on summer vacation on Nantucket is interwoven with a compelling story set during the Crusades. All of the characters in both stories are beautifully drawn and developed. The discovery by Elise, the teacher, of ancient manuscripts leads into the Crusade story. After the documents are interpreted, a string of sudden deaths (murders?) occur. The reader is fascinated as one story moves from Nantucket to the Cape to Maine, while the Crusade story goes from France to the Holy Land. The transition from one time period to the other is skillfully accomplished. As the story unfolds the tie between the ancient and the modern is very smoothly done through the mesage in the manuscripts, an ancient locket and hauntingly beautiful music. To reveal more would give away the plots and this is a book you should read for yourself. Put it at the top of your summer reading list! If you enjoy a modern romance with suspense, a second fascinating story line, all beautifully written, you will share my enthusiasm for it. It will make a great movie!

5.0 out of 5 stars Take a break & follow Elise back in time, May 8, 2000
By A Customer
This review is from: Defenders of the Holy Grail (Paperback)
A friend recommended this book and I just loved it. This book has it all - excitement, intrigue, mystery, murder, and romance. As I read each page, I felt as though I was right there with Elise, hearing, seeing, touching all that she encountered. I especially loved being taken back in time to relive the lives of the "Defenders of the Holy Grail". I kept my faith in Katherine and when she lost her beloved Reed, I knew she would carry on. Elise became a modern-day Katherine and I could easily have read another 200 pages. I hope there is a sequel and would love a chance to watch "Defenders of the Holy Grail" on the big screen.

4.0 out of 5 stars Empowerment and Love, November 21, 2000
This review is from: Defenders of the Holy Grail (Paperback)
I highly recommend this book. It presents women as real, warts and all. But the 2 heroines grow and soar...It made me cry. The songs add a very different tone. At first I didn't know what to make of them. Then I stepped out of my "novel box" and resonated with them! You will never forget this book!
