He says that I am deplorable. Inconsequential. Nothing. That I'm not worth his time. He knows how I feel about him. That it's not only his acceptance I want. I get off on the sting of his words as they roll off the tip of his tongue. He tells me that I am a fool to think that we are anything alike. I know that he's enticing me in his own sick and twisted way. If I'm ever going to prove to him how wrong he is, the time is now. Just as he's about to cast me out of his life, I meet Aurelia, and everything becomes clear. My world unraveled the day I met Samael. As a model, I rely on my image to survive. In this cut-throat industry, you can't get too close to anyone, and thick skin is a must. I've been called greedy, selfish, and rude. It's all true, but it's imperative for self-preservation. I abide by a strict routine to stay relevant and strict values keep me pure. I was preparing for the biggest audition of my career when I was approached by a beautiful man full of promises and stardom. He was right. Aurelia Vega was about to become a household name. Only, it wasn't for the reason I had always dreamed of. That dream had been decimated and my worst nightmare has come true.
In these troubled and extremist times, when the religion and culture of Islam is under seemingly perpetual attack, it is salutary to consider how much we have in common, and how much we, in the Christian West, owe to the spiritual insights of that great culture. Religious toleration, respect for learning, the concepts of chivalry and brotherhood - these principles were brought by the Islamic Moors when, in medieval Spain, they acted as 'Beacons of Light' in the Dark Ages of European religious arrogance, intolerance and persecution. The Moors gave Europe an architectural and artistic heritage that is still a source of wonder to the modern world. It was in translation from Arabic, not the orig...

A curious thing happened to Tim Wallace-Murphy and Marilyn Hopkins when they published Rex Deus, their first book on the bloodline of Christ: they were contacted by a man from the very lineage they were studying. And instead of denying the existence of the bloodline or berating them for revealing secrets, he actually confirmed that the Rex Deus lineage exists and even disclosed some of its fundamental secrets. The story of the Rex Deus families, direct descendents of Christ--who is believed to have survived the crucifixion?turns out to be much more extensive than the authors first thought. Instead of beginning during the time of Jesus, it stretches far back into antiquity, to the Egyptian My...
