In the 13th century, Catholic churchmen and French nobles led an invasion of the Pays d'Oc and a bloody suppression of the Cathars, whom they regarded as heretics. What is known is that the Cathars rivaled the established church in parts of Western Europe. Several legends have been told about the Cathars, including that they practiced ancient mystical rituals and that they were the guardians of the Holy Grail. This book focuses on the Cathars, a gnostic sect centered in the Pays d'Oc, (modern southwestern France).

For a long time, The Da Vinci Code put me right off books about the Cathars or the Holy Grail, so I was hesitant to pick up Kate Mosse's book. ![]() ![]() ![]() Described as one of the best-documented cases of paranormal activity, this page turning book will stay with you long after you have finished reading it.
