Author: Adrian Tchaikovsky

📘 House of Open Wounds by Adrian Tchaikovsky

The Palleseen advance through continent after continent, purging superstition and leaving behind bodies of ragged, holed, and charred flesh. In the shadow of the front lines, Yasnic—a once‑priest, healer, and rebel—has been reprieved from execution and conscripted to an unconventional medical unit. Clutching a box of orphan Gods, he is tasked with treating the seemingly mortal victims of war, using unapproved magic, necromancy, demonology, and his own illicit deities. The field hospital’s survival hangs in a fragile balance, as success could cost them freedom, or the colony risk disbandment, arrest, or worse.
