As their legions scour the world of superstition with the bright flame of reason, so they deliver a mountain of ragged, holed and scorched flesh to the field hospital tents just behind the frontline.\n\nWhich 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 particularity unorthodox medical unit.\n\nLed by \u0026#39;the Butcher\u0026#39;, an ogre of a man who\u0026#39;s a dab hand with a bone-saw and an alchemical tincture, the unit\u0026#39;s motley crew of conscripts, healers and orderlies are no strangers to the horrors of war. Theirs is an unspeakable trade: elbow-deep in gore they have a first-hand view of the suffering caused by flesh-rending monsters, arcane magical weaponry and embittered enemy soldiers.\n\nEntrusted—for now—with saving lives deemed otherwise un-saveable, the field hospital\u0026#39;s crew face a precarious existence. Their work with unapproved magic, necromancy, demonology and Yansic\u0026#39;s thoroughly illicit Gods could lead to the unit being disbanded, arrested or worse.\n\nBeset by enemies within and without, the last thing anyone needs is a miracle.","author_name":"Adrian Tchaikovsky","author_url":"https://hardcover.app/authors/adrian-tchaikovsky","thumbnail_url":"https://assets.hardcover.app/edition/30892526/054bfcf03401372705c8c3517efcbc86928c23cd.jpeg","thumbnail_width":317,"thumbnail_height":500}
