Winner of the 2008 World Fantasy Award for Best Novel. Ned Marriner is spending six weeks with his father in France, where the celebrated photographer is shooting Saint-Sauveur Cathedral in Aix-en-Provence. While exploring the cathedral, Ned encounters Kate Wenger, an American exchange student with a deep knowledge of the area's history. But even Kate is at a loss when she and Ned surprise a scar-faced stranger, carrying a knife, deep inside the cathedral.
"I think you ought to go now...". he tells them. "You've stumbled into the corner of a very old story...". In this ancient place, where borders between the living and the dead are blurred, Ned and his family are about to be drawn into a strange and haunting tale, as mythic figures from conflicts of long ago erupt into the present, changing - and claiming - lives.
