Set in sixteenth century Languedoc it is the first in a new quartet that covers three centuries of religious conflict. Kate Mosse explains the inspiration for the books and her fascination for medieval France.

Kanye West is never far away from controversy and this time the US rapper has caused a public outcry with his comments about slavery.
Jacqueline Springer and Katie Puckrik discuss Kanye's recent provocative remarks.
