Bringing sixteenth-century Languedoc vividly to life, Kate Mosse's number one bestselling novel, The Burning Chambers, is a gripping story of love, betrayal, war and adventure, conspiracies, and divided loyalties.
Carcassonne 1562. Nineteen-year-old Minou Joubert receives an anonymous letter at her father’s bookshop. Sealed with a distinctive family crest, it contains just five words: SHE KNOWS THAT YOU LIVE.
But before Minou can decipher the mysterious message, a chance encounter with a young Huguenot convert, Piet Reydon, changes her destiny forever. For Piet has a dangerous mission of his own, and he will need Minou’s help if he is to get out of La Cité alive . . .
A thrilling adventure, and a heart-breaking love story, Europe awaits in The Burning Chambers. A historical novel of excitement, conspiracy and danger like no other . . .
'A powerful storyteller with an abudant imagination' - Daily Telegraph
'Impressively bold and ambitious' - Daily Mail
Review
Mosse's fans will relish this tale of secrets, love and treachery ― The Times
Another of Mosse's immersive dramas, which takes you to the heart of the past -- Book of the Week ― Grazia
Mosse's narrative lyricism, beautifully drawn female characters and deft journey from the past to the present day are a cut above ― Scotland on Sunday
Rich with historical detail, as you'd expect from Mosse, but it's Minou, the fiery heroine, who makes this a must-read -- Book of the Month ― Good Housekeeping
An irresistible read ― Prima
Impressively bold and ambitious, it features betrayals, broken friendship, family secrets and the horrors of fanaticism. Fans will love it ― Daily Mail
Transporting readers to 16th-century Languedoc where, against a backdrop of simmering sectarian tensions, 19-year-old Minou receives a mysterious message at her father’s bookshop. Gripping, complex and intensely atmospheric. ― Mail on Sunday
The Burning Chambers is a tour de force, a compelling adventure that views the past with insight, compassion and humour, and reminds us of the variety of women’s voices so often forgotten in the official accounts. ― Observer
Mosse is a master storyteller, balancing thrilling suspense with complex characters and a thoughtful exploration of a fascinating time in history. Her heroine Minou is a pleasure to root for: clever, loving, down-to-earth and courageous! -- Madeline Miller, author of The Song of Achilles and Circe
This is historical fiction to devour. Nobody does it like Kate Mosse -- Anthony Horowitz
