  <description><![CDATA[In this extraordinary thriller, rich in the atmospheres of medieval and contemporary France, the lives of two women born centuries apart are linked by a common destiny. <br/><br/> 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; between the skeletons, a stone ring, and a small leather bag. <br/><br/> Eight hundred years earlier, on the eve of a brutal crusade to stamp out heresy that will rip apart southern France, Alais is given a ring and a mysterious book for safekeeping by her father as he leaves to fight the crusaders. 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. As crusading armies led by Church potentates and nobles of northern France gather outside the city walls of Carcassonne, it will take great sacrifice to keep the secret of the labyrinth safe. <br/><br/> In the present, another woman sees the find as a means to the political power she craves; while a man who has great power will kill to destroy all traces of the discovery and everyone who stands in his way.]]></description>

    <![CDATA[Uma empolgante história de coragem, destino e traição passada na Carcassonne medieval e contemporânea.<br/><br/>Em Julho de 1209: em Carcassone, uma rapariga de dezassete anos recebe do pai um livro misterioso que ele afirma conter o segredo do verdadeiro Graal. Embora Alaïs não consiga perceber as palavras e os estranhos símbolos no seu interior, sabe que o seu destino é protegê-lo. Será necessário sacrifício e fé para manter em segurança o segredo do labirinto - um segredo que remonta a milhares de anos e tem origem nos desertos do Antigo Egipto... Em Julho de 2005: Alice Tanner descobre dois esqueletos durante uma escavação arqueológica nas montanhas perto de Carcassonne. No interior da sepultura onde se encontram os ossos, ela pressente uma avassaladora sensação de malevolência e constata assustada que, por mais impossível que pareça, é capaz de compreender as misteriosas palavras antigas que estão gravadas na rocha. Alice apercebe- se demasiado tarde que desencadeou uma assustadora sequência de acontecimentos que é incapaz de controlar e que o seu destino se encontra inexplicavelmente ligado ao dos cátaros, oitocentos anos antes.]]>

And the story of the Grail is one of the most well-known of the lesser-known histories. Or even myths.

    <![CDATA[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.]]>
