Between The Dragon And His Wrath: K-Nurse Book Four - Mark Leo Tapper - Bog

When a magic ritual goes awry at the end of the First Crusade, a group of Knights Hospitaller are mistakenly made immortal, doomed to be reborn after each death. They form the Knight Nurses of the Order of St. John and work as caregivers and healers in each new life. But they don't just give comfort and aid to the sick: the knights, each with a unique magical gift, battle the Returned, an evil corporation from another dimension that's hell-bent on destroying beauty, diversity, and tolerance. When Paul and Aurora returned from the Ether, they brought a deadly plague with them. Now the K-Nurses must find a way to comfort the sick as they flee from the forces array against them. Their duty to those suffering and their mandate to banish the Returned keep them Between the Dragon and His Wrath. The Knight Nurses of the Order of St. John is set in present-day America. It's a tale of world-weary warrior-nurses who fight against hatred of "the other" in its myriad forms and against the long slide toward authoritarianism.
