Kate Mosse, autorka v celé Evropě mimořádně úspěšného románu Labyrint, posílá tentokrát svého hrdinu k hranici mezi Španělskem a Francií. Nešťastný mladý Angličan projíždí za sněhové vánice po silničce v Pyrenejích, havaruje, pomoc nachází ve smutné vesnici jakoby bez života. Na večerní slavnosti se setká s dívkou do níž se zamiluje a ona mu vypráví o minulosti vesnice. Autorka čerpá opět z dějin katarů, a to z poslední etapy - kataři zahnaní vysoko do horských vesnic a stále pronásledovaní vojáky, uchylují se do jeskyň a vojáci je v nich zazdívají. Ráno se ukáže, že mladý muž na žádné slavnosti nebyl. V duchu veden dívkou vypraví se druhého dne do hor a skutečně v jedné jeskyni najde hromadný hrob posledních katarů...
