Publisher Description
If war is hell, there is no word to describe what Private Jones has been through. Forced into a conflict with an unknowable enemy, he awakes to find himself in a strange land, and is soon joined by young woman, Morana, who tends to his wounds and tells him of the battles played out in this impossible place.
She tells him of an Iron Beast that will end the Great War, and even as he vows to help her find it, enemy combatants seek them, intent on their utter annihilation.
Return of Souls is the second volume of the trilogy Andy Remic began with A Song for No Man's Land.
At the Publisher's request, this title is being sold without Digital Rights Management Software (DRM) applied.
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
Fans of military fantasy with horror elements will find a lot to like as Remic returns to the bloody battleground of WWI, which he first visited in A Song for No Man's Land (2016). Pvt. Robert Jones of the 3rd Battalion Royal Welsh Fusiliers is still seeing the beings that he calls the walriders, terrible creatures with bodies that are "slick and black, thick twisted coils like oiled tree roots," and with "long yellow fangs curling up from a disjointed jaw." In the midst of an attack from one of these monstrosities, everything goes black and Robert finds himself in a different place, where a deserted castle offers refuge and a beautiful woman named Orana Katella begs for his help in saving her people from slaughter. Robert begins falling for Orana and developing hope for the future, but a walrider named Five Stripe is bent on hunting him. Intricate battle sequences are interspersed with Robert's diary entries, offering insight into his past and the utter brutality of trench warfare.
