Embark on a harrowing journey into the heart of a brutal crusade with House of Open Wounds by Adrian Tchaikovsky. This gripping novel, a companion to the acclaimed City of Last Chances, plunges readers behind the front lines where the Palleseen's relentless pursuit of Perfection has left a trail of devastation. Witness the grim reality faced by those tasked with tending the wounded in field hospitals. Amidst the chaos of war, Yasnic, a former priest and rebel, finds himself serving in an unconventional medical unit. Led by the formidable 'Butcher', an ogre skilled in bone-saw and alchemical arts, this motley crew of conscripts, healers, and orderlies are intimately acquainted with the horrors of conflict. Their work is a gruesome testament to the suffering inflicted by monstrous creatures, arcane weaponry, and embittered soldiers. The book details their unspeakable trade, working with unapproved magic, necromancy, and demonology, all while Yasnic harbors his own illicit collection of Gods. This precarious existence is fraught with peril, as their unorthodox practices could lead to the unit's disbandment or worse. The narrative is richly illustrated with imagery of war tents, battlefields, and the makeshift medical facilities, all rendered in a striking monochrome with vivid orange accents, hinting at the fiery destruction and the desperate struggle for survival. The cover art itself suggests the dark themes within, depicting a chaotic scene with armored figures, ominous weaponry, and perhaps even mythological beasts. This paperback edition offers a tangible connection to Tchaikovsky's masterful storytelling, where every page reveals new depths of despair and resilience. The story explores the moral ambiguities of war and the struggle to maintain humanity in the face of overwhelming darkness. The price is €13.75 and it is dispatched within one to two working days, with the option for 30-day returns. Free delivery is available on orders over €49.95.
