The Sunday Times No. 1 Bestseller

‘Mosse is a master storyteller’ – Madeline Miller, bestselling author of Circe

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. It is the first volume in the sweeping, spellbinding series, The Joubert Family Chronicles.

Carcassonne, 1562. Nineteen-year-old Catholic 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 heartbreaking love story, The Burning Chambers is the first novel in Kate Mosse's enthralling, meticulously researched historical series. It is followed by The City of Tears.

'A tour de force' – The Observer

'Gripping, complex and intensely atmospheric' – The Mail on Sunday
