The Cult of Venus — David S. Brody

Historians Cameron Thorne and Amanda Spencer-Gunn discover a 14th-century journal which confirms a long-rumored historical heresy: The medieval Church outlawed the Knights Templar because the warrior monks were secretly worshiping the ancient Goddess. The journal also sucks Cam and Amanda into the orbit of a ruthless cabal of modern-day pagans intent on pushing America into the loving arms of the Goddess-whether America wants succor there or not. Based on actual historical artifacts, and illustrated. Says Midwest Book Review: A gripping story of Goddess worship from ancient to modern times. This stand-alone novel is book #7 in the Templars in America series.
