What should she do when she finds herself in possession of the most sacred, the most valuable, the most coveted artwork in all Eastern Orthodoxy?

 

Russia has loaned it to the United States

Ukraine claims it

The Russian Orthodox Church wants it

Political rivals will kill for it

Russia is threatening mayhem

 

This is the dilemma in which Lara Cole, our 34 year old Museum director, finds herself.  Confused and struggling with her religious past, unequipped for the political maneuvering around this work of religious art, and totally unprepared for the danger it has visited on her, she tries to sort out her options-- and to stay alive.
