Description
The Burnings by Naomi Kelsey In 16th-century Scotland, the fear of witchcraft was at its peak, and women were the most vulnerable. Geillis, a Scottish housemaid, and Margareta, a Danish courtier, find themselves on opposite sides of the law, yet their lives become intertwined when they are brought together by the marriage of King James VI and Princess Anna of Denmark. As the North Berwick witch trials intensify, Geillis and Margareta must navigate the treacherous landscape of paranoia and superstition to protect themselves and each other. As the clock ticks down, the question becomes: can black magic be a tool for women's political gain? The Burnings is a gripping and vividly evoked novel that reimagines a true story of 16th-century Scotland and Denmark. With its richly researched and cleverly woven plot, this debut novel is a worthwhile read for fans of historical fiction.
