May displays a deft flair for historical fiction in this authentically detailed account of Claudia Procula, the wife of Pontius Pilate. The daughter of a distinguished Roman military commander distantly related to the emperor, Claudia spends her childhood in one army camp after another. During a stint in Egypt, she hones her gift of second sight, concocts a magic serum to snare handsome Pontius Pilate, and becomes a handmaiden of the goddess Isis. Indeed, her devotion to Isis and her visionary powers will become the guiding forces in Claudia's life. Of course, reader's familiar with the Bible will remember Claudia's unheeded warning to Pilate about the enigmatic Galilean, but this is not at the heart of the story; rather, May concentrates on painting a portrait of a remarkable woman firmly entrenched in her time and place. Though some might balk at the author's alternative view of Jesus and Mary Magdalene, readers who suspend their disbelief will be amply entertained.
