Элис работает волонтером на археологических раскопках в Пиренеях и случайно находит пещеру с захоронением и загадочным чертежом на стене. Такой же узор, похожий на лабиринт, вырезан на внутренней стороне кольца, подобранного девушкой в древней могиле. Сверхъестественным образом перед внутренним взором Элис возникают картины далекого прошлого.

Восемь столетий назад потребовалась огромная жертва, чтобы сберечь эту тайну, но и в двадцать первом веке платой за ее неприкосновенность может стать…

Горы Лангедока хранят множество тайн, - и тайны эти не спешат открываться посторонним. Крестоносцы, которые огнем и мечом уничтожали города и замки мятежных альбигойцев, и инквизиторы, без числа сжигавшие их на костре, упорно считали катаров не просто еретиками, а приспешниками Тьмы, искушенными в таинственной и могущественной черной магии. Кто был прав? Они или мы, считающие альбигойцев мудрыми философами, невинными жертвами безжалостных "воинов Севера"?
