Book description
Abbey of Ruac, rural France: A medieval script is discovered hidden
behind an antique bookcase. Badly damaged, it is sent to Paris for
restoration, and there literary historian Hugo Pineau begins to read
the startling fourteenth-century text. Within its pages lies a
fanciful tale of a painted cave and the secrets it contains - and a
rudimentary map showing its position close to the abbey. Intrigued,
Hugo enlists the help of archaeologist Luc Simard and the two men go exploring.
When they discover a vast network of prehistoric caves, buried deep
within the cliffs, they realise that they've stumbled across something
extraordinary. And at the very core of the labyrinth lies the most
astonishing chamber of all, just as the manuscript chronicled. Aware
of the significance of their discovery, they set up camp with a team
of experts, determined to bring their find to the world. But as they
begin to unlock the ancient secrets the cavern holds, they find
themselves at the centre of a dangerous game. One 'accidental' death
leads to another. And it seems that someone will stop at nothing to
protect the enigma of the tenth chamber ...
