    Summary

    August, 1944-- European Theatre
    112th Infantry Regimental Combat Team, AKA the “Bloody Bucket” Division

    It is a little-known fact that, in war, there exist three sides: the attackers, the defenders, and the environment itself. Humans can be swayed by their emotions, but the Earth feels nothing for those waging war on her surface. The battlefield does not care who you are-- it swallows the faithful and the damned alike.

    Dennis Whitaker still believes in saving people.
    Colonel Robby knows better.

    Between the dying and the dead, prayers and exhaustion, and hands that refuse to stop reaching-- something fragile takes root.

    But in a war that devours everything in its path, even hope can feel like a sin.

    or

    Dennis Whitaker never intended to enlist, as a medic or as a soldier. Now that he's here, though, he's going to save as many lives as possible, or die trying.
