<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>In the tradition of "The Mists of Avalon" and "The Name of the Rose, " an epic tale of romance, mystery, and danger set in the turbulent medieval period. "The Burning Times" sweeps readers into 14th-century France and into the life of Sybille, a young midwife well-schooled in the art of white magic.<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><b>The year is 1357. 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.</b> <p/> 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. <br> 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.<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br><b>Jeanne Kalogridis</b> is the author of <i>The Diaries of the Family Dracul, </i> a historical vampire trilogy, and wrote for the bestselling <i>Star Trek</i> series under the pseudonym J.
