***THE OVERNIGHT SUNDAY TIMES AND NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER***

DISCOVER THE EPIC TALE OF MEDIEVAL HORROR DRIVING BOOKTOK WILD

'A beautiful nightmare that grips you from start to finish' VICTORIA AVEYARD

This edition includes a critical foreword from bestselling author Joe Hill

****

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.

I got 100 pages in and basically gave up, I won't criticise the writer i just wasn't enjoying it, I daresay at the end it reveals what's actually happening, but 100 pages in I couldn't tell if the lead character was delirious, if the story was fantasy. obviously the author was doing the old heaven and hell thing but it just didn't appeal to me
