Labyrinth

Two Women. Two Eras. One Ancient Secret.

Labyrinth by Kate Mosse is a gripping, dual-time historical thriller that weaves together the mysteries of the past and present in an epic tale of courage, destiny, and the search for truth. First published in 2006 by Orion, this international bestseller transports readers to the sun-drenched landscapes of southern France — and deep into a centuries-old mystery.

A Modern Woman Drawn into a Medieval Quest

In present-day France, archaeologist Alice Tanner unearths a hidden cave while volunteering on a dig. Inside are two skeletons, strange inscriptions, and the symbol of a labyrinth — clues that link her fate to a 13th-century woman named Alais. In 1209, Alais is entrusted with a dangerous secret — the location of the Holy Grail — a secret that powerful forces will kill to protect or uncover. Across time, the lives of these two women converge as Alice races to solve a puzzle that has remained hidden for hundreds of years.

Mystical, Atmospheric, and Utterly Compelling

With rich historical detail, evocative settings, and a suspenseful plot, Labyrinth is perfect for fans of historical fiction, time-slip novels, and epic quests. Kate Mosse delivers a masterful story of love, betrayal, and the enduring power of the past.

A haunting and unforgettable journey through time and legend.
