The Inquisition rages throughout medieval France, searching ruthlessly for heretics. In an epic tale of passion, mystery, and unspeakable danger, one woman faces the flames...and triumphs.\u003c\/b\u003e \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Mother Marie Françoise, born Sybille, is a midwife with a precocious gift for magic -- a gift that makes her a prime target for persecution at the hands of the Church. She flees her village and takes refuge in a Franciscan sisterhood. Before long, Sybille's unusual powers bring her under the scrutiny of the Inquisition. Michel, a pious and compassionate monk sent to hear her confession, finds himself drawn more intimately into Sybille's life and destiny than either of them could have imagined. \u003cbr\u003e Like a magician herself, Jeanne Kalogridis weaves a tale of star-crossed love, of faith and heresy, of mysticism and witchcraft, against a fascinating historical backdrop -- the Black Death, the Hundred Years' War, and the catastrophic defeat of France at the hands of the English. The result is a page-turning novel about one of the most intriguing periods in history.","brand":"Scribner","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48683955683557,"sku":"NP9780684869247","price":25.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"url":"https:\/\/k12savings.com\/products\/the-burning-times-isbn-9780684869247","provider":"K12savings","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
