Sepulchre (The Languedoc Trilogy) Review: Tarot and History - For those that have an interest in Tarot, history, the Church and the Cathars, this is a marvelous read. There is a dual storyline - following a sister and brother in the 1890's, and a young American graduate student in current times. I found the characters to be multi-dimensional, believable, and true to their times. So true, that there were some very scary moments in this book -scary because of the action, and scary because of the mindset of the people involved. I was impressed with the use of Tarot as a device to act as a cohesive element between the two timelines. The story begins with a Tarot reading, and the gift of a deck. It becomes magnified with strange books found in a family library, and the painting of a Tarot deck based on material in one of those books. Part of what kept me glued to this book was that it was based in France for both timelines. The French terms were not familiar, but they flowed so well that it didn't matter. In fact, the one character that I could not seem to connect with was the American graduate student. Her character was well rounded, but just did not ring true for me. I loved the Tarot and esoteric content that was brought into this work, and highly recommend it. I am certain that I will read this book many times more - it takes me into a world that, while not all peace, is a fine place to be. Review: A really enjoyable historical fiction with slight supernatural elements - Many years after reading the first in this series, I finally caught up with this sequel (and then the third in the Languedoc series), and really enjoyed all of them. I give this book a big recommendation for fans of historical fiction, fans of books that have parallel stories in different eras, and fans of books with slightly supernatural overtones. The book begins in Paris in 1891, with 17 year old Leonie Vernier attempting to meet her brother Anatole at the premiere of Wagner's "Lohengrin," when French nationalists storm in with violent intent, and Leonie and Anatole barely escape with their lives; circumstances force them to run south to Rennes-les-Bains in the Languedoc region to stay (or hide) with their aunt Isolde in the mysterious estate known as Domaine de la Cade. The parallel story is set in 2007, with Meredith Martin traveling to Paris to gather information for her biography of Claude Debussy, when a clue sends her, also, to Rennes-les-Bains and Domaine de la Cade, since Leonie's time converted into a hotel resort, but with some strange connections to Meredith's own family. Both young women are caught up in discovering the existence of a mysterious Tarot set, realizing the cards' dangerous powers, and protecting the set from mysterious and nefarious antagonists. The plot was thoroughly enjoyable, showing the uncertainties, strengths, and bravery of young women, complete with impulsive choices followed by determined regret and learning from prior mistakes, and plot points were reached with regularity, so the book was engrossing as well as literary. Mosse has a real talent for detailed, literary descriptions of surroundings in all scenes, but especially of the geography, architecture, and feel of the Languedoc area of France. While I'm a fan of full fantasy novels, I know that some readers of historical fiction can be put off by including supernatural elements in otherwise mystery/thriller books, and while there were certain parts of this book that took on heavy supernatural overtones, readers should not be put off by that, as it mostly reads as a dual-timeline search for treasure and fight against criminal opponents. There were some plot points that I thought were overused (the "secrets = plot" trope, wherein main characters keep plot-generating secrets from each other for no good reason other than it creates plot) or out of place (Leonie forgetting her family's predicament and falling into puppy love upon one single meeting with the antagonist of that timeline, the otherwise well-constructed sociopath, Constant). But overall, the writing and the plot were a joy to read, and despite the length of the book, I made short work of it because it truly caught my attention. As a whole, the mechanics of the writing were exceptional, with a few errors that were glaring precisely because the rest of the writing was so good: some minor comma issues and split infinitives; the overuse and inconsistent use of either "couple/couple of" and "awhile/a while;" one particularly egregious use of "if the worst came to the worst." As a whole, though, Mosse's writing is top-notch, both in plot and in grammarian edits. I really liked this book, as well as its precursor and the third in the series. Big recommendation for fans of historical fiction with slightly supernatural elements. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #618,546 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #3,061 in Historical British & Irish Literature #4,526 in Literary Fiction (Books) #4,535 in Contemporary Literature & Fiction | | Book 2 of 3 | Languedoc Trilogy | | Customer Reviews | 4.2 4.2 out of 5 stars (2,956) | | Dimensions | 6 x 1.34 x 9 inches | | Edition | Reprint | | ISBN-10 | 0425225844 | | ISBN-13 | 978-0425225844 | | Item Weight | 1.34 pounds | | Language | English | | Print length | 572 pages | | Publication date | March 3, 2009 | | Publisher | Penguin Publishing Group | ## Images ![Sepulchre (The Languedoc Trilogy) - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/91Ij6x0BSkL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Tarot and History *by B***T on February 27, 2009* For those that have an interest in Tarot, history, the Church and the Cathars, this is a marvelous read.

A well written story of family drama, great character descriptions, and lots of intrigue . I enjoyed this author's way of describing characters without the usual waste, and page fillers some authors do. I lost a lot of sleep staying up with this book, and a happy ending is always my favorite. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.kg/products/24495592-sepulchre-the-languedoc-trilogy](https://www.desertcart.kg/products/24495592-sepulchre-the-languedoc-trilogy) --- *Product available on Desertcart Kyrgyzstan* *Store origin: KG* *Last updated: 2026-05-07*
