When archaeology volunteer Alice Tanner chanced upon the cave opening, she had no idea that she would be utterly changing -- and endangering -- her life. Inside the cave were the remains of two people, a stone ring, cryptic etchings on the wall, and a small, timeworn leather bag. At her own peril, Tanner discovers that the story of the cave goes back to the 13th century and then far, far beyond. A brisk, well-researched historical thriller.

This gets one star more than Dan Brown's book because it's better written and more historically accurate--or given I'm no expert,...
I have so much to say about this book, and yet no patience to say it all.(warning: there's going to be a lot of cussing in this. yeah i know i always have a lot of cussing but there's probably gonna be more than usual in here.)(i also apologise for any incoherency i am cold as shit right now and my ...
