Now a young, brilliant archeologist, Johanna, responding to the cryptic utterance of a headless monk that has haunted her dreams since childhood - "To enter heaven one must dig into the earth" - has begun to uncover and explore secrets that have long lain buried at the sacred site. For not even ten centuries have been able to obliterate completely the brutal treachery of the Benedictine monk Brother Almodius or the misfortunes of the tender-hearted Brother Roman in his forbidden love for a Celtic girl, Moira, who experienced ritualistic torture by the elements of earth, air, fire, and water.
In ancient ritual, in foreboding visions, in an expedition at once metaphysical and archeological, Johanna ardently researches the past only to discover that its bizarre, murderous history has begun to be repeated in the present. Reality becomes an elusive, dangerous place, and it leaves Johanna with no one she can fully trust: from her married lover, Francois, who is also the Minister of Cultural Monuments; to Simon, the cosmopolitan antique dealer whose family is strangely connected to the abbey; to Guillaume, whose passion for Johanna's work comes not unalloyed; to the jealous archeologist - and devious saboteur - Patrick Fenoy.
Her science increasingly challenged by inexplicable mysteries, in the embrace of peril Johanna treads the ancient stones and arcana in the depths of the Romanesque abbey at Mont-Saint-Michel as this thriller unfolds.

Information regarding the right of withdrawal
Statutory right to withdraw
You have the right to withdraw from this contract within 14 days without giving any reason.
The withdrawal period will expire after 14 days from the day on which you acquire, or a third party other than the carrier and indicated by you acquires, physical possession of the last good or the last lot or piece.

Effects of withdrawal
If you withdraw from this contract, we will reimburse to you all payments received from you, including the costs of delivery (except for the supplementary costs arising if you chose a type of delivery other than the least expensive type of standard delivery offered by us).
We may make a deduction from the reimbursement for loss in value of any goods supplied, if the loss is the result of unnecessary handling by you.
We will make the reimbursement without undue delay, and not later than 14 days after the day on which we are informed about your decision to withdraw from this contract.
We will make the reimbursement using the same means of payment as you used for the initial transaction, unless you have expressly agreed otherwise; in any event, you will not incur any fees as a result of such reimbursement.

The right of withdrawal does not apply to:
- The delivery of newspapers, journals or magazines with the exception of subscription contracts; and
- The supply of digital content which is not supplied on a tangible medium (e.g. on a CD or DVD) if you accepted when you placed your order that we could start to deliver it, and that you could not withdraw once delivery had started.
