The Languedoc series by Kate Mosse is a captivating historical fiction series that weaves together past and present narratives in the enchanting region of Languedoc, France. The series comprises three main novels: Labyrinth (2005), Sepulchre (2007), and Citadel (2012). In Labyrinth, readers are introduced to the mysteries of the Languedoc region as they follow two parallel storylines. One storyline takes place in the present day, where a young woman named Alice Tanner discovers a cave filled with ancient artifacts and inscriptions. The other storyline is set in the medieval era during the time of the Cathar Crusade, where a young woman named Alais is caught in a dangerous web of intrigue and deception. Sepulchre continues the series by introducing new characters and exploring the rich history of the region. The novel follows two timelines, one set in the late 1800s with a young Englishwoman named Leonie Beaumont, and the other set in the 1300s during the Inquisition. Both storylines revolve around the enigmatic Black Madonna and the secrets it holds. Citadel, the final installment in the series, takes place during World War II and follows a group of female resistors fighting against the Nazi occupation in the Languedoc region. The novel intertwines their story with that of a medieval woman named Sandrine Vidal, who is also connected to the Black Madonna and the region's mysterious past. The Languedoc series is a mesmerizing blend of historical detail, suspenseful storytelling, and vivid characters that will keep readers enthralled from beginning to end...
