A Sunday Times Best Paperbacks of the Year Pick

'A dramatic, immersive tale of secrets, conspiracies, fanaticism and loss' – Daily Mail

The gripping story of one family’s fight to survive against the devastating tides of history – an epic adventure, sweeping from Carcassonne to Paris and Amsterdam.

Paris, 1572. For ten violent years, the Wars of Religion have raged across France. Now, peace has been brokered and a royal engagement announced that could see the country reunited at last.

An invitation has arrived for Minou Joubert and her family to attend the wedding. Little does she know that her family’s most dedicated enemy will also be there, that the Jouberts will soon be forced to flee for their lives to Amsterdam, and that someone she loves dearly will disappear without a trace . . .
