She loathes her sister because she’s her father favourite. Her sister Oriane, however, aims for power and wealth. Alais is brave and tries to take care about the people around her. The historical perspective is well developed with a focus on the many atrocities the Cathars suffered by the hands of fellow countryman. I’ve avoided this book for a long time because it’s about the Holy Grail and I detest that kind of Da-Vinci Code stories.įor that reason, ‘ Labyrinth‘ won’t become my favourite of Mosse’s books.

In fear that the city will fall, Alais Du Pelletier receives from her father a ring with a labyrinth on it and a book that carries an ancient secret. In 13th century Carcasonne, the French are on the verge of a holy crusade against the Cathars.
As she enters the cave, strange ‘memories’ come flooding back to her. Alice Tanner discovers a cave with two skeletons inside during excavations in Southern France.
