Cross Theology: the Gilded altar

 Adrian Cross has perfected the art of the con, transforming from a destitute orphan into the charismatic "e;Beloved Navigator"e; of a strong movement. But beneath the silk vestments and the theatrical sermons lies a man drowning in his own creation, haunted by the memory of a childhood window that actually opened. In a world of absolute believers, the ultimate skeptic is trapped in a cage of gold, performing a role that is slowly erasing his humanity. When the walls of his own making start to close in, Adrian realizes the most dangerous person in the compound isn't the federal agent watching his every move—it's the man he's become.
