This book takes a while to get into, but it is well worth the time. It took me about two weeks to read it at about 50 pages every couple of days.
Alice is a modern visitor to southern France. While volunteering on a local archaeological dig, she stumbles across a cave containing 2 skeletons, and sets in motion a string of events she could never have imagined.
Alais is a 12th century native of southern France, living in the time of the Catholic Crusade against the supposedly heretical Cathar Christians. When her people are attacked, it is up to her to hide the treasure her father brought back from the Jerusalem Crusades. That treasure is made up of 3 books that when read together will lead the reader to the Grail (which is NOT the cup from the Last Supper in this book).
In the midst of the Crusade, the books are separated from each other. 800 years later, it is up to Alice, Alais' modern-day reincarnation, to bring them back together and once again hide the Grail from unscrupulous people who want it for their own evil purposes.
If I didn't have a 3 year old in the house, I would probably have read this book cover to cover in one sitting, because I was so anxious to learn all the secrets of the Grail that didn't come out until the last 50 pages of the book.
