This
debut novel by Nita Hughes blends an ancient story of
terrifying persecution with a vision of hope for the world
we know today.
The tale is told by a woman photographer
who unexpectedly discovers information from the past about a spiritual
secret, a treasure so coveted that an entire culture was massacred in an
attempt to own it. Her search for answers propels the
characters of this romantic thriller through time as history threatens
to repeat itself.
Initially we are introduced to Clotilde
and Jean de Mirepoix, devout Cathars in 13th century France. Their world
of growing enlightenment is being extinguished by a reign of terrorism.
Clotilde and Jean seek refuge in
Montsegur, a Cathar sanctuary thought to be impregnable. But their
safety fades in importance as they attempt to secure the Cathar
treasure, described in the archives of the Catholic church as “so
powerful as to change the face of the world”. Vowing to safeguard
the treasure throughout time, their souls commit to return and unveil it
at “worlds end”.
We discover that this time has come, as
photographer Dana Palmer and writer Eric Taylor collaborate on a story
whose secret may provide the world’s salvation - or its destruction.
