For over a decade Cassiopeia Vitt has been building an authentic French castle, using only materials and techniques from the 13th century.
From the medieval walled city of Carcassonne, to the crest of mysterious Monts gur, to a forgotten cavern beneath the Pyrenees, Cassiopeia is drawn deeper and deeper into a civil war between two people obsessed with revenge and murder..
And when more than one person becomes interested in that secret, in particular a thief and a billionaire, the race is on.
Now a piece of that past has re-emerged, one that holds the key to the hiding place of the most precious object the Cathars possessed.
Eventually, in 1208, the Pope declared them heretics and ordered a crusade-the first where Christians killed Christians-and thousands were slaughtered, the Cathars all but exterminated.
But when a treasure is unearthed at the construction site-an ancient Book of Hours-a multitude of questions are raised, all pointing to an ancient and forgotten religious sect.
Once the Cathars existed all across southern France, challenging Rome and attracting the faithful by the tens of thousands.
