I was mesmerised LAURA SHEPPERSON, Sunday Times bestselling author of The Heroines This gripping, vividly evoked novel takes the reader to the dark heart of the 16th century unforgettable' Tracy Borman, author of The Kings Witch





Nothing scares men like witchcraft





1589. Scottish housemaid Geillis and Danish courtier Margareta lead opposite lives, but they both know one thing: when a man cries witch, no woman is safe.



Yet when the marriage of King James VI and Princess Anna of Denmark brings Geillis and Margareta together, everything they supposed about good, evil, men, and women, is cast in a strange and brilliant new light.



For the first time in history, could black magic or rumours of it be a very real tool for womens political gain?



As the North Berwick witch trials whip Scotland and her king into a frenzy of paranoia, the clock is ticking. Can Margareta and Geillis keep each other safe? And once the burnings are over, in whose hands will power truly lie?





Inspired by the incredible true story that set 16th-century Scotland and Denmark alight, The Burnings is 2023s most bewitching debut novel, by a multi-awardwinning new star of historical fiction.





A beautifully written re-imagining clever and tantalising S.G. MacLean
