À propos de cet audio
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 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 fulfill 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, demons, saints, and the risen dead - and in the midst of a desperate struggle for nothing less than the soul of man.
Christopher Buehlman is a writer and performer from St. Petersburg, Florida. The winner of the 2007 Bridport Prize for poetry, he is also the author of several plays and the acclaimed horror novel Those Across the River. He lives with his wife and his rescued dog, Duck.

relentlessly dark
but a worthwhile emotional endeavor. reads fast, has more than a handful of surprisingly genuine laughs considering the subject matter. just deserves to be read.

Shockingly entertaining and bewildering
What is this book?? I want to meet the author. It’s Greek Mythology meets Dante’s Inferno. The performance is amazing. I was captivated by the story until the final chapters. They became quite surreal.

Suffering and Salvation
Buehlman draws from real life history to craft a dark thought provoking tale of both mundane and supernatural horror. What hope can there be in a world abandoned by God? One that the devil and all his ilk have mad their play thing? In the face of such a nightmare do we abandon all virtue all righteous and lastly all Hope? What do such things serve us before the Powers of Hell?
The Book tackles these questions in a subtly powerful way displaying the most horrific of circumstances navigated by Broken individuals pushed to the limits of their faith strength and reason.
A must read for any fans of historical fiction/Fantasy and Horror.

A genre splicer that works.
Medieval horror/fantasy set in France during the black plague. If you’re not sold already I’m not sure what to tell you. Its is also beautifully written, darkly comedic, epic in scope. Its also feels a little like Bloodborne/Dark Souls. Loved it

Brutal and beautiful!
I was immediately drawn to this book when a friend described it as reminiscent of Dark Souls, a popular video game by From Software. Although there are many similarities, after reading I found the comparison didn't fully encapsulate what this book is. It combines elements of historical fiction, dark fantasy, and horror to construct a captivating narrative. While I expected the dark fantasy and horror aspects, I was pleasantly surprised by its grounding in historical events and real-world settings. Additionally, the significant reliance on Christian mythology as a storyline backbone was incredibly effective, particularly in utilizing the more macabre elements of Christianity.
Overall, the book is a compelling blend of darkness, brutality, and strength, beautifully intertwined with insights and flawed yet redemptive characters.

A real good read
This is a rare good book, kept me captivated the entire listen. My only critique is it finished a little out of pace with the beginning of the story. Still, overall a great story.

Beautiful story
Truly a really beautiful story with interesting characters and a good arc. Highly recommended if you’re interested in a journey type story with a good mix of fantastic and real situations. Definitely not horror (as I’ve seen it described), but an overall incredible book from an author that’s quickly becoming one of my favourites!
