In the heart of the Pyrenees mountains lies a hidden secret, waiting to be uncovered.
In 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.

However, the pace is slower than I like, the number of characters with similar names confused me more than once, and it didn't consistently keep my attention.
I mildly enjoyed it, but I won't go out of my way to seek out the author again. It's too bad because the plot and setting had a lot of potential.
Intriguing but slow

There were complaints about the French and Occitan language in the book, but when I listened to it, even the first time, they typically follow it up with the English Translation, so I didnt struggle with it much. Kate Mosse makes it feel like the character speaks his native language and then translates it for the English speaking characters in the conversation. The suspense was wonderful, just when you think you know what is going to happen she switches time periods, so you have to wait to find out what is going to happen. The imagery was good, you feel as though your in the South of France, in the mountains, in the cities, and walking along with Alice as she visits the same places Alais is living in 800 years ago.
If you like Historical Fiction, and you like Medieval times, and are willing to pay attention (I wouldnt recommend this book for someone just looking for an easy listen) this may be a good book for you. If you like the Eight by Katherine Neville, or Da Vinci Code, you will more than likely enjoy this book. I know I did, and I love the eight, and enjoyed DVC.
I highly recommend this book.
Fantastic Medieval Story

In the present the author spent a lot of time with details and descriptions of France I really didn't care about. I felt it took away from the story. Plus the french dialogue was very distracting. I found myself zoning out a lot during these parts.
But when we went back to the past the author had my full attention again. She should have stayed there more. There were stories from the past that I would have liked to have seen in the past that were explained in a giant info dump by one of the present characters towards the end of the story. I felt like the author realized she was going on too long and took the easy way out. She shouldn't have skimped on this part.
Narrator did an excellent job as she always does. If you like historical fiction and don't mind a meandering story the good parts of this story are worth your while. Otherwise keep looking for another title.
When it was good it was very good...
