Publisher Description

July 2005. 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.

"This book was incrdibly slow to get into. It may have been me personally, because it's not as though there was no action going on. Once I go into it, though, it was incredible. I couldn't put it down for the last 250 pages straight. It was completely unpredictable, and I loved it. "

    " Very much like a previous review, I found that at times I really disliked this book but at others it was hard to put down. I feel that there was too much time spent not knowing what the heck was going on. I'll probably read the second book, Sepulchre and hope for the best there, based on the good parts of this one. "
