In an epic novel that reimagines the Hundred Years
War?in a world where angels and demons choose sides on the
battlefield?England and France find themselves locked in a
holy war, but which country has God's favor? England, 1337: Edward III is beset on all sides, plagued by
debt and surrounded by doubters. He refuses to pay homage to
the newly crowned Philip Valois of France and seeks to
secure his French holdings, but he's outmanned. Philip can
put 50,000 men in the field, but he is having his own
problems: he has summoned the angels themselves to fight for
France, but the angels refuse to fight. Both kings send
priests far and wide, seeking holy relics and heavenly
beings to take up the cause of their country, but God
remains stubbornly silent, refusing to grant favor to either
side. Meanwhile, among the poor and downtrodden, heretical
whispers are taking hold: what if God—who has never
been seen to do anything for them—is not the rightful
leader of the heavens after all? And as Edward’s situation
becomes increasingly desperate, even his counselors begin to
believe that if God won’t listen, perhaps they can find a
savior not from Heaven, but from Hell. In a sweeping tale packed with courtiers and kings, knights
and priests, and devils and angels, Mark Alder breathes
fresh and imaginative life into the Hundred Years War in
this unique historical epic.
