Publisher's summary

The Black Mountain is a Quick Read short story from best-selling author Kate Mosse.

It is May 1706. Ana, a young Spanish woman, lives in a small town on the north-west coast of Tenerife with her mother and twin younger brothers. The town is in the shadow of a mighty volcano, which legend says has the devil living inside it. However, there has been no eruption for thousands of years, and no one believes it is a threat.

One day, Ana notices that the air feels strange and heavy, that the birds have stopped singing. Tending the family vineyard, a sudden strange tremor in the earth frightens her. Very soon, it will be a race against time for Ana to help persuade the town that they are in danger and should flee before the volcano erupts and destroys their world. Will they listen? And Ana herself faces another danger....

Loved this story!

Loved the story, the setting & characters. Excellent narration. I've enjoyed all of Kate Mosse's stories that I have read thus far. I'm looking forward to her next novel!

A good short story with an interesting setting

I listened to the Audible version of this quick read short story and thought it was great! Lots of history woven in with compelling characters and plot. It described events in the Canary Islands that I had never heard of until this reading this. The authors words and the narrators voice were a great combination.
