Publisher Description

An Instant New York Times, USA Today, and Indie Bestseller

Enter a darker age with New York Times bestselling author Christopher Buehlman's Between Two Fires, a medieval horror adventure unlike anything on the shelf.

And Lucifer said: “Let us rise against Him now in all our numbers, and pull the walls of heaven down…”

The year is 1348.

Thomas, a disgraced knight, has found a young girl alone in a dead Norman village. An orphan of the Black Death, and an almost unnerving picture of innocence, she tells Thomas that plague is only part of a larger cataclysm—that the fallen angels under Lucifer are rising in a second war on heaven, and that the world of men has fallen behind the lines of conflict. Is it delirium or is it faith?

She believes she has seen the angels of God. She believes the righteous dead speak to her in dreams. And now she has convinced the faithless Thomas to shepherd her across a depraved landscape to Avignon.

There, she tells Thomas, she will fulfill her mission: to confront the evil that has devastated the earth, and to restore to this betrayed, murderous knight the nobility and hope of salvation he long abandoned.

As hell unleashes its wrath, and as the true nature of the girl is revealed, Thomas will find himself on a macabre battleground of angels and demons, saints, and the risen dead, and in the midst of a desperate struggle for nothing less than the soul of man.

Between Two Fires

Fantastic.

A Damn Good Book

Truly an amazing book. I am so glad that I got into reading because this book exists. I don’t think anything can top this book in the grimdark genre.

Between Two Fires captures how famine, war, pestilence, and religion looked in 1348, along with the historical aspects of the time period, extremely well, while perfectly blending them with fictional elements. This book reached beyond its dark setting to touch the soul through valuable lessons about love, forgiveness, and redemption, especially in the presence of war, famine, and pestilence.

Please give this book a chance and be prepared to experience the terror of the world Buehlman created. You won’t regret it.
