Title: Come Marching Home

Genre: Fantasy

Synopsis: After being away for over a year, Alfonse Keller has returned from the trenches on Teuton’s western front, fighting in the war that’s broken out against the Steppes. He should feel relieved now that’s he’s back in his own village in the care of his brother Ernst, but he’s not. It seems like nothing has changed except for him, like he’s a traveler from a different world.

When Alfonse left to join the army, he was a natural magician making a name for himself, but after a tragic incident resulting in the death of his friend, and his own crippling injury, he no longer has the ability to use magic.

Suffering from constant nightmares and revisited trauma, Alfonse can’t get the trenches out of his head. Ernst tries to help, but he doesn’t really understand either. How can he, when Alfonse doesn’t really understand himself? He feels like a phantom, standing on the outskirts of a life he’ll never live again.

As Ernst tries to do everything he can for his brother, he can’t help but feel like Alfonse is slipping away, that maybe part of him never left the trenches at all. But how can he save his brother when Alf refuses to let anyone in?

Cover Reveal: COME MARCHING HOME

Hi guys! I'm so excited to share the cover reveal for my new book today:

Art by C. B. Cook

I'm really excited to share this book with you as it's one that I am rather personally fond of. It was really fun to write a book that has a slightly historical feel, but it actually set in a fantasy world, and I really loved writing about Alfonse and Ernst (and Alf's dog) and I hope you will all enjoy this story too.

Come Marching Home will be released on Tuesday October 13th, and I will be doing a blog tour that week (If you want to sign up to participate in that, I really need some more hosts, so check out this form if you're interested)

In the meantime, the ebook is up for pre-order AND I have some pre-order goodies if you pre-order the book, or order a copy of Come Marching Home before the end of October (because I can't put the paperback up for pre-order, so if you wanted the paperback, you can still have the chance to get the goodie pack ^_^)

All you have to do is order the book (either through Amazon or Smashwords) and email me the receipt (just a screenshot is fine) at sirwilliamssquire@gmail.com with you address and I will send out your goodie pack.

Goodies:

-A bookmark

-A sticker with art by H.S.J. Williams

-A playlist curated by myself

-And if you order the paperback, you will get a signed bookplate
