The year is 1397, and Paris is awash with the gloom of the 100 Years War and the papal schism. With the arrival of a wonder-working Franciscan, a pitched battle between good and evil is set in motion. Brother Jacques is one of God's special friends: he performs miracles at Mass, heals the sick, instills peace of mind in the troubled, and even brings the dead back to life. And yet his arrival in Paris coincides with a series of murders and the rising tide of apocalyptic marvels. An unlikely coalition forms between a group of intellectuals: three priests and a clerical concubine, setting out to discover who Brother Jacques really is. The answer lies in deciphering a series of visions and the journal of a long dead heretic. What they learn will rock the very foundations of the Catholic church and challenge the nature of reality.
