Book Overview
According to an ancient pagan calendar, a Nameless Day is the one day each year when the veil between the living world and the spirit world is at its thinnest. In the year 1377, as the Black Plague spreads across Europe, Brother Thomas Neville begins seeing beings he can’t explain: demons… or angels.
Neville is drawn into a growing conflict where worlds are beginning to touch and spirits have crossed over. With forces moving beyond human control, the Church believes Neville has been chosen to stand against an oncoming tide of destruction — but the line between salvation and damnation is dangerously unclear.
Dark, atmospheric, and rooted in a vividly imagined 14th-century setting, this opening novel sets the stage for a high-stakes series where belief, power, and survival collide.
