About this audiobook
Tree of Thorns
What if the greatest legend in British history began with a secret buried two thousand years ago?
In ancient Jerusalem, Joseph of Arimathea and Nicodemus become guardians of an extraordinary truth—one that will carry them across the Roman Empire and into the mist-covered hills of Britain.
Their journey gives birth to a sacred covenant, a mysterious winter-blooming Hawthorn, and a legacy that will survive for centuries, hidden beneath the legends of King Arthur and Camelot.
But in modern England, something impossible happens. For the first time in nearly two thousand years, the sacred Hawthorn fails to bloom.
When King Charles III discovers that an ancient royal tradition has been broken, a forgotten warning draws him toward Glastonbury—and a mystery that could challenge everything history has taught us.
Some legends are born from imagination. Others are born from truths the world has forgotten.
