The Regiment That Never Returned

di Martin Swan (Autore)

Martin Swan, 2026

Three hundred soldiers entered Dornheim. Not one of them came back. The Thirty Years' War has ravaged Germany for fourteen years. Captain Elias Krüger is sent with eleven men to investigate the disappearance of Colonel Johann von Hohenwald and his entire regiment. More than four months earlier, three hundred mercenaries marched into the isolated village of Dornheim. None returned. When Krüger arrives, he finds their muskets stacked neatly in the village square. Their armour, swords and drums remain behind. There are no bodies. No blood. No evidence of battle. And the villagers insist the regiment arrived that morning. They also insist it is May 16. Krüger knows it is September 28. As darkness approaches, the roads begin leading back to Dornheim. Dead soldiers return to life. Men encounter other versions of themselves. Beneath the village, thirty-seven doors conceal evidence of days that should never have existed. Every attempt to change the past creates another possibility. Another Dornheim. Another regiment. Another chance for something ancient to feed upon the choices men wish they could make again. To escape, Krüger must confront not only what happened to Hohenwald's regiment, but the memories and regrets of his own violent past. Because in Dornheim, the most dangerous question a man can ask is: What if I had chosen differently? The Regiment That Never Returned is Book Three of the Black Powder Horrors, a standalone military horror novel combining black-powder warfare, the brutality of the Thirty Years' War, supernatural terror and a chilling mystery in which history itself has become the enemy.
