August Sacrifice

They were sent to a quiet garrison. They found an army from hell.December 1941. As World War II rages, young Canadian soldier Andrew Barnes arrives in Hong Kong with the "e;C Force,"e; expecting peaceful duty. Instead, they are thrown into the front lines of a brutal Japanese invasion. But the true enemy is far more terrifying.In the tunnels of the Gin Drinkers' Line and the ruins of fallen Stanley, Barnes uncovers a truth that defies all reason. The Japanese forces are not merely fanatical—they are possessed. Channeling an ancient, ravenous evil through a state-sanctioned pact, they have become an unstoppable host of demonic hunger. Bullets can't kill what's already dead inside.As the Allied garrison makes its last stand, Barnes and a dwindling band of survivors realize they are not just fighting for territory. They are fighting against a ritual older than history, a sacrificial ceremony meant to consecrate the island as a permanent altar to a god of emptiness. Their only weapon is the one thing the darkness cannot consume: the unwilling, unyielding witness of a human soul who refuses to consent.Blending meticulous historical detail with bone-chilling supernatural horror, The August Sacrifice is a gripping tale of a forgotten WWII battle where the real war wasn't for land, but for the very soul of every man on the island.
