The Sunday Times No. 1 Bestseller

'A tour de force' - The Observer

Bringing sixteenth-century France vividly to life, Kate Mosse's historical epic The Burning Chambers is a gripping story of love, betrayal, war and conspiracy.

Carcassonne, 1562. On the eve of the wars that will tear France apart, 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, Piet Reydon, profoundly reshapes her destiny. For Piet has a mission of his own, and he will need Minou's help if he is to get out of La Cite alive . . .

A thrilling historical adventure and a heartbreaking boy-meets-girl love story, The Burning Chambers is the first volume in Kate Mosse's No. 1 international bestselling Joubert Family Chronicles. Continue the story with The City of Tears.
