In July 2005, Alice Tanner, volunteering at an archaeological dig in the Pyrenees, stumbles upon a hidden cave containing ancient skeletons, strange markings, and a mysterious ring. What seems like an extraordinary find quickly becomes something far more dangerous, as Alice realizes she has triggered events tied to a long-buried secret.
 
Centuries earlier, in 1209, as a brutal crusade descends upon southern France, seventeen-year-old Alaïs is entrusted with a ring and a sacred book — objects said to hold the secret of the true Grail. As war threatens to destroy everything, she must risk everything to protect them.
As the two timelines converge, Mosse crafts a sweeping narrative of courage, destiny, and sacrifice.
 
Labyrinth is both an immersive historical journey and a suspenseful modern thriller, exploring how the past continues to shape the present — and how some secrets are worth any cost to protect.
