Summary

An arranged marriage, 1484.

Emeline knows she has no voice in her marriage, so she counts herself fortunate when her betrothed turns out to be a charming man with a heart of gold. But before the wedding, flames consume everything, and the murdered body of Emeline's fiancé is discovered.

Sparks fly when Emeline finds herself marrying the younger brother…

Nicholas is tired of living in his brother's shadow. Forced to marry a woman who would rather he fill his brother's coffin isn't helping. But just when he thinks his wedding day couldn't get worse, fire ravages once more. It becomes apparent that the murderer's rampage is far from over.

Can an unlikely couple find their way on a trail of political intrigue and a murderous conspiracy?

As murder and mayhem plague their lives, Nicholas must hide a secret mission behind his actions… even from his own wife. But when Emeline embarks on her own investigation, he realizes he has underestimated the fiery beauty. Determined to unmask the murderous culprit, Emeline naively takes on the sleuth's role and finds there may be more to her husband than meets the eye.

England's fate hangs in the balance…

The Flame Eater is an enthralling historical mystery with multifaceted characters, fast-paced twists and turns, and apple codlings to die for. This rich tapestry of life in the 15th century is perfect for fans of CJ Sansom, SW Perry, SJ Parris, and SG Maclean and does not contain sexual content.
