Out of the Fire

‘For a while, we lived well together – even while thinking each others’ beliefs were wrong.’ 1189. York, England. Hanna wants two things: a spell for invisibility, and the safe return of her brother and father. Then Richard I sets the country ablaze with talk of the infidel and waging a holy war in Palestine… It's a story about a Jewish girl, a Christian boy, a book of ancient Babylonian magic – and the disaster that unfolds when forces beyond their control are unleashed. Hanna is caught up in real events from a medieval past, which resonate powerfully with our 21st-century present.
