Official synopsis Publisher
The Black Plague. The Pestilence. Disease and death haunt every town and village across fourteenth-century Europe, and none are immune from its evil. Some see the devastation of their world as a sign of punishment from God for Man’s wickedness. But Brother Thomas Neville sees this swath of death as something much more. Neville is a man beset by demons. Or is it angels? He has had a visitation from none other than the Archangel Michael, who commands Thomas to undertake a mission. This mission will take Neville across the length and breadth of the continent in a desperate bid to find the means to stop the minions of Satan, who have found a doorway out of Hell and are preparing to venture forth to try to seize this world in preparation for an assault on Heaven itself. As Thomas Neville encounters angels and demons, saints and witches, he comes to realize that the armies of God and Satan are arraying themselves for the final battle … and that his soul is to be the battleground. The question is, has Neville picked the truly good side? The Nameless Day combines powerful storytelling with meticulous historical research and is a unique take on the ageless battle between the forces of Heaven and Hell. Book jacket.
