The Nostradamus Prophecy

When Nostradamus proclaims to the French court his prophecy of a great massacre, the young King Charles only laughs. His mother, Catherine de' Medici, pays more heed - she believes that Nostradamus can truly see the future.

But the great soothsayer's prophecies are not only for those who rule; he also has a message for Melisande, the minstrel's daughter, who he believes is linked with him by Fate. And as the Angel of Death approaches, Nostradamus entrusts to her safekeeping some very special parchments - parchments that the rulers of France would do anything to see . . .

Reviews

  • The novel goes at a rollicking pace . . . Is especially praiseworthy for dramatising a period of European history which children might not normally encounter

    The Times

  • The rousing story is always clearly told and cleverly plotted

    Books for Keeps

  • Theresa Breslin's The Nostradamus Prophecy is a superb and totally gripping story set amidst a Fresh court and country filled with tensions and uncertainties. The assured characterisation and terrific plotting hold a reader in thrall

    The School Librarian

  • Breslin's books are always founded on immaculate research and her enthusiasm for her subject is invariably infectious

    Glasgow Herald

  • An unputdownable read that will have you guessing and constantly on the edge of your seat until the very end

    Naomi, aged 14, First News

Theresa Breslin: I set out to walk the footsteps of the soldiers of the Great War

Personally struck by the conflict of World War One, Breslin was inspired to write Remembrance. Her research provided a poignant insight into the lives of those on the front line and those at home.
