But within days of the marriage, thousands will lie dead in the streets and Minou’s beloved family will be scattered to the four winds . . .
A gripping, breath-taking novel of revenge, persecution and loss, the action sweeps from Paris, Chartres and London to the city of tears itself, Amsterdam. The second in Mosse’s Number One bestselling The Burning Chambers quartet.
