false 14975 37 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. <br/><br/> 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. 1225097 book 2005 Labyrinth total:3657|5:479|4:1156|3:1212|2:563|1:247| 3657 12028 5423 718 3 10 false false Thu Nov 01 00:00:00 -0700 2007 Sat Oct 13 10:02:40 -0700 2007 Sat Oct 13 10:02:40 -0700 2007

Still, I gave this book a chance, as I'd been impressed with Kate Mosse's work as an interviewer on the BBC's Radio 4. I'm glad that I read it.
