    "The Century of Lament" recounts the harrowing experiences of Parkinson and his loved ones during and after World War I. The story begins with the outbreak of the war, driven by political tensions and tragic events like the assassination of Archduke Ferdinand. Parkinson volunteers to join the British forces, facing the brutal realities of trench warfare, guilt, and loss. Amidst the chaos, moments of faith, hope, and brotherhood emerge, such as the Christmas Truce, where soldiers from opposing sides share a rare bond. The narrative also explores societal struggles, including Charlotte's work as a Canary Girl, the rise of sociological ideas, and the devastating aftermath of war that leaves scars on nations and individuals alike. As the war concludes, the story reflects on the costs of peace, justice, and the profound trauma left behind. The Treaty of Versailles and the rise of extremism in Germany mark the beginning of a new dark chapter, with characters facing exile, suffering, and the rise of Hitler. Despite these horrors, the novel highlights enduring human resilience, love, and faith, culminating in hopes for a better future amid the lingering shadows of the century's laments.

    WW1 Germans vs Romanian fantasy monsters. Magic vs technology. Terror vs reason. Claws, teeth, and undeath vs bullets, bayonets, and artillery shells. The dark forests of Tarâmuri, against the ever-approaching trenches of Teutonia. Vampiric aristocrats and their legions of undead, against millions of living, human soldiers. This story is told like the story of every war. Through many sets of eyes. From the eyes of a Teuton soldier, crouching in a trench. From the eyes of a 600-year-old vampiric nobleman who yearns for nothing more than a good death. From the eyes of a greedy emperor, and a mad king. And from the eyes of someone who serves neither king, nor emperor, but God.

The two leaders have already called in all available people to fight in the last defense, including the Franco-Prussian war veterans.

    This is a quickly thrown together concept for a story set in a fantasy Great War. The story follows a group of shock troopers as they undertake a trench raid. Its very rushed, but as I said it's just a concept for now.

    THE WAR IS ALMOST OVER. THE NIGHTMARE IS JUST BEGINNING. November, 1918. The Meuse-Argonne Offensive is reaching its brutal climax, and the end of the Great War is finally within sight. But for a small squad of American Doughboys, salvation is cut short when a sudden German mustard gas attack forces them deep underground into a captured concrete bunker. Trapped in the damp dark, their only lifeline is the suffocating rubber of their gas masks. To break the seal is suicide. But as the hours stretch into days, a rhythmic tapping echoes through the ventilation pipes-a phantom Morse code broadcasting their conversations seconds before they happen. Then comes the final, terrifying transmission: a headcount that doesn't add up.

    Ten thousand years ago, the sky split open and never healed. From that wound came fire, monsters, and a war that no one remembers how to end. Civilization did not fall. It dug in. Across a dying world, four great powers fight in trenches that stretch from burning cities to flooded coasts and poisoned underground tunnels. Faith became ammunition. Flesh became fuel. Survival became the only victory left. The Iron Reliquary marches behind sacred machines that run on sacrifice. The Ashen Choir burns everything in the name of purification. The Vermin Synod spreads infection to become something stronger than human. The Leviathan Dominion rises from the oceans to reclaim the world for the deep. Above them all, the sky continues to bleed. And something ancient is still trying to come through. This is a story of endless war, collapsing faith, and humanity's slow transformation into something unrecognizable. In this world, peace is a myth. Mercy is weakness. And the war never stops.
