I recently read Between Two Fires, a book by Christopher Buehlman, which takes place in France during the mid-14th century, at the time of the Black Death. It follows a young girl who has lost her family, a knight who has lost his way, and a priest who has lost his flock due to desire. Forming an unlikely trio, they head across a country besieged by death, famine, and the underworld itself in order to save the world from a war in heaven that has spilled over onto Earth.

This book is by no means a masterpiece, but the writing is decent and the story tickles the same region of my brain that enjoys things like the paranormal detective work of John Constantine. It is a guilty pleasure, riddled with fights, demons, and heroics. The ending was somewhat stilted and difficult to follow, though in hindsight that was primarily due to the preceding bulk of the book being so straightforward. I can recommend it as a light afternoon read, or something to tear through on a long international flight.
