Apocalyptic in the truest sense, a disgraced knight, a closeted priest, and a touched girl who may be an angel or a demon journey across plague-ravaged France in a quest to reach the holy city of Avignon.
It's a visceral, brutal, touching and redemptive tale worth the torment as Buehlman muses on death and power, love and lust, vengeance and forgiveness, and found family.
I loved it.
