Languedoc #1
Labirinto
Em julho de 1209, na cidade francesa de Carcassonne, a adolescente Alaïs recebe do pai um misterioso livro, que ele diz conter o segredo do verdadeiro Graal. Embora Alaïs não consiga entender as estranhas palavras e símbolos escondidos naquelas páginas, sabe que seu destino é proteger o livro. Serão necessários enormes sacrifícios e uma fé inabalável para preservar o segredo do labirinto - um enigma que remonta a milhares de anos e aos desertos do antigo Egito.
Julho de 2005: durante uma escavação arqueológica nas montanhas ao redor de Carcassonne, a jovem professora Alice Tanner descobre dois esqueletos. Dentro da tumba na qual repousavam os antigos ossos, experimenta uma sensação de maldade impressionante e percebe que, por mais impossível que pareça, de alguma forma, ela é capaz de entender as misteriosas palavras ancestrais gravadas nas pedras. Porém, é tarde demais - Alice acaba de desencadear uma aterrorizante seqüência de acontecimentos incontroláveis, e agora, seu destino está irremediavelmente ligado à sorte dos cátaros, oitocentos anos atrás.
