The Black Death has emptied half of Christendom. Its survivors seek salvation wherever they can find it—in the remains of dead saints, the promises of priests, or at the bottom of their cups.

Spurred on by the urgent need to be closer to God, forged indulgences and false relics have proliferated on both sides of the Rhine, turning hallowed bones into mere commodities.

Now, with the new Pope in Avignon hoping to reassert spiritual control over the Holy Roman Empire, Remi and Pierre find themselves flung into an intrigue at the beer-swigging heart of Christendom.

Following the trail of murdered priests, plague-prophets, treacherous knights, and stolen relics, they will descend into the heart of a rotting empire, where new heresies have grown to fill the void left in the wake of plague.

Where the sulphurous stench of demons is surpassed only by the stink of the dead.

Where good has become a tool for evil.

Where something ancient is stirring.

Something that claims dominion and will have it no matter the cost.

In the Name of the Worm is a historical dark fantasy adventure of heretical proportions, complete with lost gods, entombed nuns, witch-knights, and a breathless plot interwoven with a heady dose of heterodox Christian and German folklore.
