Description:

The road to Hell is paved with prayers.God plays favorites. And if you ask Mary Dante, His favorite is always someone else. As she despairs over her mother’s hopeless illness, her late night prayers alone in the darkened balcony of the monastery church sound like bitter blasphemies to Peter Anglis. He’d give anything to be Mary’s hero, but this is the twenty-first century. Mary isn’t in the mood for knights anymore, and she taunts him in her anger and despair. She’s sick of helplessly praying for a miracle while nothing ever comes of it, and she’s pretty sure Peter can’t fix anything for her. Peter would hate to admit it, but he’s afraid she’s probably right. But their whispered argument is interrupted by a dark, hooded figure attacking a lone monk in the shadows below, and racing after this mysterious cloaked figure, Mary and Peter are carried from our world first into a haunted paradise between Heaven, Hell, and Earth, where you finally have to make the decisions that you’re going to live with forever, and then into the world of thirteenth century England, a land fermenting in faith and fear, where Peter learns that there is still a desperate need for knights in the world, and Mary will quickly learn from the sinister, dark monk that there is in fact a way to get precisely what you pray for, but prayer like that exacts a terrible price. Maybe it’s magic, and maybe it’s religion—Mary just knows it works and the dark monk will teach it to her, to her delight and Peter’s horror and jealousy. But Mary will learn nothing if the Inquisition has its way. . . .
