What happens when one Body forgets how to breathe?
Ashes and Oil: The Great Schism is a historical novel that descends into the soul of Christianity's most devastating fracture—the 1054 split between the Roman Catholic and Eastern Orthodox Churches. Through poetic prose, vivid symbolism, and haunting theology, this epic tale brings to life the forgotten tension between Latin Rome and Byzantine Constantinople.
Follow Humbert of Silva Candida, a Latin novice destined to ignite a centuries-old wound, and Michael Cerularius, a Greek scholar shaped by legacy and fury. From coronations and secret oaths to bloodless riots and shattered scrolls, their lives unfold as two empires struggle for one altar.
With atmosphere thick as incense and dialogue sharp as doctrine, Ashes and Oil explores the pride, politics, and divine silence that turned creed into battlefield. This is not just historical fiction—it is ecclesial lament, a requiem for a unity undone.
Perfect for readers of Christian history, Church politics, and religious historical fiction, this novel is a gripping exploration of what was lost when two sides stopped speaking—leaving the Gospel to echo in fragments.
