London, 1666. The city is a tinderbox - and one spark will set it ablaze.
As the Great Fire roars through the streets, a secret sect moves under the cover of smoke and chaos. They believe in a prophecy: a child born on the sixth day, of the sixth month, at the sixth hour will either bring salvation... or destroy the city.
Agnes Wilmore just gave birth to that child.
Now she's trapped between two dangerous men - Robert, a former soldier with a claim on the boy's blood, and Thomas, a Watch officer who is not what he seems. Both will risk everything to control the child's fate.
From dark alleys to blazing wharves, from whispered sermons to steel flashing in the smoke, The Burning is a relentless chase through a city in flames - where every shadow hides a spy, every promise hides a lie, and survival means choosing which devil to trust.
Some fires cleanse.
Some consume.
This one will do both.
