The Silver Chalice is a fictional, but historical novel written around the "making" of the "Silver Chalice," which some people interchange with the "Holy Grail." This novel includes some biblical characters such as the apostle Peter, Luke, etc., but also historical characters, and the time period is shortly after the death of Jesus.

The story depicts a young man, Basil, who at one time was wealthy, but is sold into slavery by an evil uncle who robs him of his freedom, wealth and all hope for the future.

Basil later is commissioned as a lowborn "artisan" silversmith to create the "silver casing" that held the plain cup that Jesus drank from at The Last Supper.

The novel is one of survival, faith, hope, and renewal!
