Kate Mosse, international best-selling author of the Languedoc Trilogy and The Taxidermist’s Daughter, as well as cofounder and chair of the Women’s Prize for Fiction, brings us the first instalment of her new and highly anticipated series, The Burning Chambers, set in 16th-century Languedoc. In it, religious wars begin to take hold as a young Catholic girl and a Huguenot believer find themselves in possession of a priceless treasure.

Warrior Queens & Quiet Revolutionaries is a celebration of unheard and under-heard women’s history. Within this book you’ll meet nearly 1000 women whose names deserve to be better known: from the Mothers of Invention and the trailblazing women at the Bar; Warrior Queens and Pirate Commanders; the women who dedicated their lives to the natural world or to medicine; those women of courage who resisted and fought for what they believed in to defend their families, their culture and their countries; to the unsung heroes of stage, screen and stadium.
