Critical Praise
… a page-turner. Its narrative skills cannot be faulted, neither can its immersion in the tragic story of Montségur. — -Rene Weis, author of The Yellow Cross: The Story of the Last Cathars 1290 - 1329
“Burnham’s novel is an energetic, psychological imagining of the Cathar legend.” — Publishers Weekly
“Mixes romance with religious history in an evocative prose that should thrill the spiritually intrigued.” — Kirkus Reviews
“Burnham presents a sympathetic depiction of the Cathars and the insurmountable challenges and persecutions they faced.” — Booklist
“A beautiful, wondrous novel...Burnham weaves nimbly between real and surreal, between magic and mundane.” — Los Angeles Times
“In matters of the soul, Burnham is as sure-footed as those mysterious mountaineers of Montségur.” — Washington Post Book World
