Although this month I only allow myself to read public domain books I'm already looking for a good book to start October with and I can't seem to find what I'm looking for.

I'm looking for something similar to Kate Mosse's novels. History (fictional or not) mixed in with adventure. I don't mind it if it's a long novel but preferably not a book that part of a series, it's hard enough to keep track of the ones I'm currently reading.

I've recently read Elizabeth Kostova's "The Historian" which came close and I also really liked "The Passage" by Justin Cronin. I've tried reading "Pillars of the Earth" but put it aside after 100 pages or so because I couldn't get into it.

Any suggestions are welcome!
