“Cormac McCarthy’s The Road meets Chaucer’s Canterbury Tales in this frightful medieval epic…An author to watch, Buehlman is now two for two in delivering eerie, offbeat novels with admirable literary skill.”

Kirkus Reviews

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.

    Good, But With Flaws

    I’ll start by saying that Between Two Fires is a decent book, but falls short of the potential I’d anticipated it to have. It’s difficult to pinpoint what went wrong . . . what prevents it from being in the upper echelon of books that I have read this year. I love the main characters. They were fleshed out very well. I loved the setting . . . 14th century France in the midst of the plague. It is the story itself that falls flat. I kept hoping the story would pick up and become un-put-downable. That did not happen. Instead of great, it was good. It was satisfactory. This in no way belittles the book or negates its relevance for those who loved it. It’s just my simple review. One last thing is I did not enjoy the dreamy sequences. They were confusing to me, and can honestly be removed from the book without affecting the main story. I suggest reading it for yourself. I don’t want my feelings about the book to affect anyone’s choice of not reading it. By all means, experience it yourself.

    Dissapointing sequal

    Listen to Those Across the River. I just couldn't get into this one. Badly written.
