Between Two Fires

AD 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 Lucifer's fallen angels are rising in a second war on heaven and the world of men has fallen behind the lines of conflict. Is it delirium or faith? She believes she has seen the angels of God and that the righteous dead speak to her in dreams. Now she has convinced thefaithless Thomas to shepherd her across a depraved landscape to Avignon. There she will fulfill her mission: to confront the evil that has devastated the earth and restore to this betrayed, murderous knight the nobility and hope of salvation he has abandoned. As hell unleashes its wrath and the true nature of the girl is revealed, Thomas will find himself on a macabre battleground of angels, demons, saints, and the risen dead – and in the midst of a desperate struggle for nothing less than the soul of man.
