In The Arms of Immortals

By Ginger Garrett
This story of unseen battle, loving presence, and eventual redemption begins when a strange ship docks in a medieval Sicilian harbor. That night an old man falls ill ... then the baker's wife ... then a street urchin. By morning half the townspeople are dead and more are dying—horribly. And no one has a clue what is happening or how to stop it. Not the local priest. Not the rich baron or his powerful knight. And not the three women at the heart of this book: the baron's proud daughter, Panthea, the outcast healer, Gio, and Mariskka, an unwilling visitor from another time.

Though the Church fights to stand between the plague and the people, the sickness is too powerful for a Church that will not allow medicine to be studied outside its walls. The Church holds a monopoly on healing and on God, but when neither rescues the people, the people lose hope in both, and the conflict between Science and Faith begins its long burn. In a time when the faithful have no answers and the faithless terrorize the countryside, only the bravest will dare hold on to a silent God.

Adventure, suspense, good vs evil, guardian angels, demons and a little romance are all found in this fast moving historical fiction thriller.

This story got me to thinking about guardian angels, what they do and do I have any situations where I was sure if it wasn't for one, I would be toast. I can think of a few incidents. I hope they look like Ginger described them (the non-human ones)!

Looking forward to book three in the chronicles of the scribe series dealing with the witch hunts in medieval Europe.
