    About this ebook

    Count Raymond IV of Toulouse, leader of the kingdom of Languedoc, brings from the crusades a certain statuette depicting Baphomet. He unites all the new lands with Languedoc, the kingdom gets richer, summoning the envy of France, weakened by constant wars with England.

    Five years after the return from the crusades, Count Raymond is overtaken by a secret death in Montsegur. His son Alphonse leaves the kingdom of Languedoc for good, leaving for the Holy Land where he meets Hugues de Payens, first grand master of the Order of Knights Templar. After that the Templars begin to worship Baphomet…

    A hundred years later, the statuette falls into the hands of the chevalier Clermont of Montsegur, the great grandson of Count of Toulouse. His life is full of unpredictable turns, but his death becomes a riddle for his descendants. The next owner of Baphomet, Auguste of Cavaillon, a Templar and personal secretary to the grand master Jacques de Molay, sends the order’s gold to Scotland where it survives thunderous adventures and then becomes the Preceptor of the castle of Inverness, in which the spiritual and magical knowledge of Europe and the Near East are concentrated.

    He tries to solve the riddle of the secret deaths of his ancestors in order to deliver the ancient race of Montsegur-Cavaillon from the power of Baphomet.
