Secret tribunals, illegal rendition, torture, trumped up charges ... all in a society controlled by fear. Such was the tenor of life in Languedoc around 1300. The dungeons housed hundreds of despairing innocents. The charge - heresy. This magnificent book, which forms a kind of sequel to Stephen O'Shea's best-selling THE PERFECT HERESY, tells the inspiring and tragic story of a Franciscan friar, Bernard Délicieux.
