While in Vatican City, renowned photorealist Anthony Brunelli is summoned from an art reception honoring his latest masterpiece to an unexpected private audience with Pope Benedict XVI. There, he receives a shocking request: uncover an 800-year-old secret left by Saint Francis of Assisi—a revelation with the power to reshape the very foundations of Christianity.

Brunelli has always known of his family's ancient duty to protect a sacred truth, but never imagined he would be the one chosen to unveil it—let alone at the Pope's command.

Joined by gifted art historian Dr. Vera Valentino, Brunelli follows a trail of hidden clues ingeniously encoded within Renaissance masterpieces. Their investigation uncovers a chilling revelation about Pontius Pilate's secret testament regarding the Virgin Mary—a truth so explosive it threatens to overturn centuries of religious doctrine.

As shadowy forces within the Vatican close in, determined to keep these secrets buried, Brunelli must confront his own wavering faith, ensure his safety, and solve the mysterious disappearance of his father—all while racing to unlock a mystery hidden in plain sight for centuries.

The Sacred Order is an electrifying journey through Renaissance art, ancient beliefs, and dangerous betrayals—where the line between faith and heresy may be drawn in blood.

Roger Brooks’ Sacred Order is a brilliant, thought-provoking work that confronts the spiritual and cultural crises of our time with both intellectual rigor and moral clarity. With the precision of a scholar and the passion of a believer in human dignity, Brooks examines how sacred structure—once the backbone of civilization—has eroded in an age of hyper-individualism and ideological fragmentation.

This book is not merely a critique of secular modernity; it’s a compelling call to rediscover the foundational principles that give life coherence, community, and purpose. Brooks draws from theology, philosophy, and cultural history, weaving them together into a narrative that feels both urgent and deeply rooted in wisdom. His prose is lucid and elegant, and his arguments are accessible without oversimplifying the depth of the issues at hand. Whether you’re a seeker, a skeptic, or someone trying to make sense of the modern moral landscape, Sacred Order offers insight, challenge, and, ultimately, hope. In a time when many feel adrift, Roger Brooks offers not just diagnosis—but direction. A must-read.

An excellent read from a first time author!
