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.

Of fires and hearth.

Though I didn’t always understand what I was reading, a lot of old and French words throughout, I enjoyed the read immensely.

Fun medieval tale of horrors

A gothic fantasy that includes disgruntled, disenfranchised knights, a mystical child, river monsters and the very worst that hell and demons can disgorge. Heavy on the gruesome bits down to every disquieting detail, but also full of sweetness and kind-hearted sentimentality. Really about as much fun as an author can have within the genre of medieval kingdoms and otherworldly warfare. There are few moments of seriousness in this irreverent odyssey, but when Buehlman occasionally decides to settle down from all the chaos and revisit his recurring thematic motifs, the tone gets serious fast and drives each point home like a war-axe through rusty, worn chainmail and armor.

Simply put, it’s an amazing book

I couldn’t stop thinking about it when I put it down at any given time.
