1205AD: Philip of Vercy sails away from the roasting wasteland
where he has passed the last year. As a Knight of the Realm, he has
fought the infidel in the Holy Land. Now, after twelve months of
savage, bloody warfare in the scorching sun, he is finally coming
home to his castle, to peace, and to his beloved wife. But France
offers neither comfort or peace. His wife has died in childbirth,
his young son is dying of a wasting disease, and, in the south, his
Cathar countrymen are being brutally persecuted. When Philip hears
rumours of a healer in the Languedoc, a young woman blessed by God
and marked with Christ's Stigmata, he rides out on a desperate
quest to save his son. His journey takes him into a vision of hell
that outstrips even what he saw in Outremer. Disgusted by the
senseless slaughter, Philip gradually becomes embroiled in the
Cathar cause. And then he finds his miracle: Fabrisse Berenger, the
beautiful, loving daughter of Cathar parents. She is bewildered by
her strange wounds, but Philip is fascinated by them... and more
fascinated by the serene goodness of Fabricia herself. Together,
the pair must flee persecution under cover of darkness - but they
cannot hold off the Pope's soldiers forever. Their destiny will be
decided in the snows of the Black Mountains where Fabricia and
Philip must make choices not just to save their lives, but their
souls.
