Description
The Burnings by Naomi Kelsey In 16th-century Scotland and Denmark, the fear of witchcraft was at its peak. When Geillis, a Scottish housemaid, and Margareta, a Danish courtier, meet through their marriage to King James VI and Princess Anna of Denmark, they are drawn into a world where nothing is as it seems. As the North Berwick witch trials whip Scotland into a frenzy of paranoia, the two women must navigate treacherous waters to keep each other safe. As the stakes grow higher, Geillis and Margareta begin to question everything they thought they knew about good and evil, men and women. Can black magic - or rumours of it - be a powerful tool for women's political gain? The clock is ticking as the burnings intensify, and the fate of Scotland hangs in the balance. A beautifully written re-imagining of a true story that set 16th-century Scotland alight, The Burnings is a gripping and enthralling read. With its vivid characters, intricate plot, and meticulous research, this debut novel is sure to captivate fans of historical fiction.
