Labyrinth (Languedoc #1)
Author: Kate Mosse
Desc: In the Pyrenees mountains near Carcassonne Alice a volunteer at an archaeological dig stumbles into a cave and makes a startling discovery-two crumbling skeletons strange writings on the walls and the pattern of a labyrinth. Eight hundred years earlier on the eve of a brutal crusade that will rip apart southern France a young woman named Alais is given a ring and a mysterious book for safekeeping by her father. The book he says contains the secret of the true Grail and the ring inscribed with a labyrinth will identify a guardian of the Grail. Now as crusading armies gather outside the city walls of Carcassonne it will take a tremendous sacrifice to keep the secret of the labyrinth safe.
