Oaths of Blood and Wine
"Funny, a little word like hope, when good men died young and bloody." *** Nazi-Occupied France is a country divided. World War II rages on, but the French must sit idly by as the Germans take their food, their homes, and their freedom. Trust is a rare occurrence; espionage and lies are tearing Europe apart. And American soldier Percy Caldwell is dropped right in the middle of it. Armed with minimal French, a fake German ID, and a motley crew, Percy must find and protect a famed Nazi-killer, who just happens to be France's greatest hope at liberation. ~ Astride Laurent is a ballerina-turned-vigilante with a fire in her eyes and revenge in her bones. She's captured and interrogated by the Gestapo, but there's a soft spot among the cold, cruel Germans- a soldier named Matthias Heidenreich. Percy, Astride, and Matthias must race against a fascist nation hellbent on killing them all in order to win a war. Between hidden Jews, French traitors, and a borderline sadistic SS major, it's not going to be easy. Inspired by novels like Code Name Verity and The Nightingale, Oaths of Blood and Wine is an action-packed story rich with conflict and secrecy.Complete

It is 1914, and Henry Anderson is watching the world descend into war. Like many young men at the time, he is fascinated by the idea of warfare and glory. Henry enlists in the military against his parents' wishes and throws himself into the life of a British soldier in Flanders. But it is far from what he expects: Henry's fantasies of righteous battle fade into the grim reality of gruesome death and shell-shock. He and his fellow soldier Jacob must help each other survive the cruel trenches, but it is no longer certain that either of them will return to England alive. Told in journal entries and letters from Henry's sister Elizabeth, this reveals the realities and horrors of World War I, on the battlefield and in the homefront. I wrote this for a history project while studying WWI and got way too involved in it, so here you are. WARNINGS: gun/bomb/gas-related violence, war descriptions, graphic death, suicide attempt. I will mark specific chapters with warnings and give summaries of those chapters on the following one. These may not be complete, so if a chapter is not marked and should be, please comment to let me know. Written in 2019 (age 15).Complete
