Death prowls the Basque town of Guernica, besieged by a civil war, and it falls on the shoulders of one cowardly but romantic soldier to save it...if he can overcome his anxiety first. *** Set in the Spanish Civil War, the town of Guernica has remained relatively out of harm's way of General Franco's Nationalist faction and their push to conquer all of Spain. Alférez Sebastián "Sebas" Goicochea, an officer fighting on behalf of the Basque Republican Army, dreads the day when the town inevitably falls to the oncoming Nationalist forces, aides by the Nazi regime. But after the mysterious disappearance of several of his squad mates, and reports of disturbing sounds coming from all over the town, he realizes that the enemy does not come bearing uniforms and weapons, but crosses and priest's clothing. That, and the skin of his former comrades. Follow Sebas and his squad as they overcome their personal demons in order to battle new ones, to save the love of his life, and to stop the advance of the Nationalist/Nazi forces from destroying the only place he calls a home. Will he have the courage to save what he holds dear the most? Or will his anxiety paralyze him when he stares at the face of death? Cover by: @Azanthiel
