Description

Behind the front lines of a crusade to bring order to a world of magic, a field hospital crew confronts the horrors of war. The Palleseen, sworn to bring Perfection and Correctness, deliver a steady stream of wounded soldiers to the hospital's tents. Here, Yasnic, a former priest and rebel, finds himself in a unique medical unit, tasked with saving lives deemed unsaveable. Led by 'the Butcher', an ogre with a talent for alchemy, the unit's crew faces a precarious existence. They work with unapproved magic, necromancy, and demonology, which could lead to their unit being disbanded or worse. As they navigate the complexities of their work, they must also contend with enemies within and without. Their work is a delicate balance of life and death, where the slightest misstep could have catastrophic consequences. With the last thing anyone needs is a miracle, the field hospital's crew must navigate the treacherous landscape of war and magic.
