Between Two Fires by Christopher Buehlman

Dive into the epic tale of medieval horror that has captivated readers and driven BookTok wild. Christopher Buehlman delivers a gripping narrative set against the backdrop of the Black Death, where faith, delirium, and the supernatural collide.

The story follows Thomas, a disgraced knight, who encounters an orphaned girl in a desolate Norman village. She claims the plague is merely a precursor to a larger conflict: the fallen angels of Lucifer are waging a second war on heaven, and humanity is caught in the crossfire. Tasked with escorting her to Avignon, Thomas embarks on a desperate journey across a depraved landscape, confronting a macabre battleground of angels, demons, and the risen dead in a struggle for the soul of mankind.
