The Dawn of Unions - Corwyn JP

When he is given a desperate battlefield promotion, he may face a grisly end ... or a dark new beginning.

Kaith knows he's been luckier than most. Born to a blacksmith, he's grateful that hard work and good fortune have granted him a position as a man-at-arms in the Countess's service. But when he accompanies her entourage to a joyful annual festival, the young man is shocked to find the village besieged, the people cursed, and Her Excellency's knights slaughtered.

Forced to shelter in the now-helpless town, Kaith and his fellow armsmen are charged with repelling the demonic enemy. But when the force that returns is an army of familiar faces twisted with lifeless malice, he fears his tiny contingent will soon join their ranks. Facing rampant terror with little hope, can Kaith prevent darkness from claiming anyone left standing?

The Dawn of Unions is the first book in the sweeping Cycle of Bones, a dark military fantasy series. If you enjoy unlikely heroes, realistic battles, and fighting for survival, then you'll love JP Corwyn's gritty novella.
