Between Two Fires (Library Edition)

Product Description [Library Edition Audiobook CD in vinyl case.] Another inventive novel of epic terror by the acclaimed author of Those Across the River In the darkest days of the Dark Ages, the people of France faced both the Black Plague and desperate gangs of men who wandered the depopulated countryside looting and raping. Tomas, a disgraced knight, is one of these men. When he and his group of hardened men come across a farm where they can find a meal, they also encounter a girl orphaned by the Plague. An unnerving picture of innocence, she tells Tomas that the disease is only part of a greater, more significant cataclysm – that the fallen angels under Lucifer are rising in a second war on heaven. Is she really blessed, or is it delirium? As hell unleashes its fury and the true nature of the girl is revealed, Tomas finds himself on a macabre battleground of angels and demons, sinners and saints, and a damnable struggle for nothing less than the soul of man. Review ''Having made a huge bloody splash with Those across the River, Buehlman returns with a book set in 1348 Europe . . . It's intriguing that Buehlman has leapt so far from the mid-century Southern setting of his first novel, just as intriguing that he's also an award-winning poet. Expect demand.'' –Library Journal
