Items related to Sepulchre (The Languedoc Trilogy)
From the New York Times bestselling author of Labyrinth-"a rich brew of supernaturalism and intrigue."(Kirkus Reviews)
In 1891, young Léonie Vernier and her brother arrive at the home of their widowed aunt in Rennes-le-Bains, in southwest France. But nothing is as Léonie had imagined. Their aunt is young, willowy, and beautiful, and the estate is a subject of local superstition. Villagers claim that Léonie's late uncle died after summoning a demon from the old Visigoth sepulchre on its grounds...
More than a century later, Meredith Martin, an American graduate student, arrives in Rennes-le- Bains while researching the life of Claude Debussy. Haunted by a Tarot reading she had in Paris-and possessing the mysterious deck of cards-she checks into a grand old hotel built on the site of a famous mountain estate destroyed by fire in 1896. There, the pack of Tarot cards and a piece of 19th-century music known as Sepulchre 1891 hold the key to her fate-just as they did to the fate of Léonie Vernier.

About the Author:
Kate Mosse is the author of the New York Times bestselling Labyrinth and Sepulchre and the Co-founder and Honorary Director of the prestigious Orange Prize for Fiction. She lives in England and France.
From AudioFile:
Both parts of this story take place in France, so there's quite a lot of French spoken, and it's a pleasure to hear the always delightful Donada Peters's pitch-perfect handling of this beautiful language. It's easy to see why Peters is an audio listener's favorite for her unfailing ability to deliver fully realized characters. In October of 1891, Anatole Vernier and his family attract the wrath of one truly evil, syphilis-riddled psychopath. Witnessing the devastation he causes, sister Leonie is forced to consider turning to the supernatural for help. In 2007, Meredith Martin, an American researching Debussy, stumbles upon Leonie's story through a pack of tarot cards painted by Leonie herself.
