A knight escorts a mysterious girl through a plague-ridden land as angels and demons wage war.
In 1348, disgraced knight Thomas encounters a mysterious girl in a plague-ravaged village. She claims fallen angels are waging war on heaven, and humanity is caught in the crossfire. Tasked with escorting her to Avignon, Thomas faces a landscape of horrors, seeking redemption amidst a battle of celestial forces. As hell's fury unfolds, the girl's true nature emerges, challenging Thomas to confront the ultimate evil and fight for mankind's soul. Will he find salvation or succumb to the darkness?
An Instant New York Times, USA Today, and Indie Bestseller DELUXE EDITION–a beautiful hardcover edition featuring black sprayed edges, designed endpapers, and a brand new foreword from New York Times bestselling author Joe Hill.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 become their battleground. Is it delirium or is it faith? 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 give him–blood-stained and wretched as he is–a chance at redemption he long thought lost. 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.
