The lake of learning
(Book)

Includes several excerpts from other works by these authors.

For over a decade Cassiopeia Vitt has been building an authentic French castle, using only materials and techniques from the 13th century. Then a treasure is unearthed at the construction site-- an ancient Book of Hours. Once the Cathars existed all across southern France, challenging Rome. In 1208, the Pope declared them heretics and ordered a crusade-- the first where Christians killed Christians-- and the Cathars were all but exterminated. With the discovery of the Book, Cassiopeia holds the key to the hiding place of the most precious object the Cathars possessed.
