Entre DOS Fuegos
A knight escorts a prophetic orphan through a plague-ridden landscape in this 1348 fantasy.
The story centers on the journey of Thomas and the young girl toward Avignon. Their path is fraught with danger as they traverse a world where the boundary between the divine and the demonic has collapsed. The narrative examines how faith functions when reality itself seems corrupted by hellish wrath. Buehlman uses the backdrop of the Black Death to question whether the girl’s visions are divine inspiration or madness. The text focuses on the psychological and spiritual transformation of the protagonist as he witnesses the risen dead and celestial warfare. This approach grounds the supernatural events in a gritty, visceral reality that challenges the reader's perception of sanctity and sin.
The narrative is situated in 1348, during the height of the Black Death. It references the Norman village setting and the destination of Avignon. The work engages with medieval Christian cosmology, specifically the conflict between Lucifer's forces and God's angels. This context frames the supernatural events within a specific historical period of widespread plague and religious anxiety.
