Summary
City-by-city, kingdom-by-kingdom, the Palleseen have sworn to scour the world of superstition.
City-by-city, kingdom-by-kingdom, the Palleseen have sworn to scour the world of superstition. As their legions advance, so a mountain of ragged, holed and scorched flesh is delivered to the field hospital tents just behind the battlefront.Which is where Yasnic, one-time priest, healer and rebel, finds himself. Reprieved from the gallows and sent to war clutching a box of orphan Gods, he has been sequestered to a particularly unorthodox medical unit.Entrusted - for now - with saving lives deemed otherwise un-saveable, the field hospital's crew face a precarious existence. Their work with unapproved magic, necromancy, demonology and Yasnic's thoroughly illicit Gods could lead to the unit being disbanded, arrested or worse.
