Between Two Fires

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 fulfil 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.

Christopher Buehlman was born in Florida in 1969 and grew up in the suburbs of the Tampa Bay area. A poor fit for these surroundings, he anesthetized himself with horror and fantasy fiction, arcades, role playing games, and the temptations of late night cable TV until he could affect an escape onto a university campus as a French language major and then onto the renaissance festival circuit as Christophe the Insultor, Verbal Mercenary.

He spent his twenties writing poetry and insults, his thirties writing plays, and now seems to be a novelist. Pastimes include Muay Thai, weight training, primitive archery, foreign travel, romance languages, horror movies, cooking, and chess. He lives with a very understanding and talented wife, and a ragtag assortment of wee rescue beasties.
