War in Heaven

The Holy Grail has been found in a quiet English parish—and the forces of darkness will stop at nothing to claim it.
When a dead body is discovered in the dusty offices of a London publishing house, it seems like a straightforward, if gruesome, crime. But this murder is merely the opening gambit in a terrifying cosmic battle. The legendary Holy Grail—the sacred cup of Christ—has mysteriously surfaced in the obscure rural village of Fardles, dragging ordinary men and women into a sudden, supernatural war.
On one side stands the unassuming Archdeacon Julian Davenant, a man of profound, quiet faith who recognizes the sacred relic and seeks to protect its holy mystery. On the other is Gregory Persimmons, a wealthy and ruthless occultist who commands a sinister coven, intent on seizing the Grail to fuel an ancient, blasphemous ritual. As the shadow of black magic falls over the English countryside, the struggle escalates from a battle of wits to a terrifying, metaphysical clash of spiritual titans.
Written by Charles Williams—a core member of the legendary Inklings alongside C.S. Lewis and J.R.R. Tolkien—War in Heaven is a masterful and wholly unique blend of Arthurian myth, gripping detective fiction, and theological thriller.
Atmospheric, chilling, and profoundly intelligent, this classic of supernatural fiction reveals that the barrier between the earthly and the divine is far thinner than we think—and that the ultimate battle between Heaven and Hell is being waged right outside our doors. Perfect for fans of dark romanticism, classic Gothic literature, and the philosophical fantasy of the early 20th century.
