War of the Fallen Paperback – August 16, 2015 by Charles Horn
 
Over a millennium has passed since their arrival and the vast majority of mankind remains ignorant to the existence of this deadly and otherworldly foe. The evil that was confined to the shadows is ready to unleash its fury on the world. This ultimate adversary will make human civilization pay for its lack of vigilance. The year is 1348 and Michael Handley and his men have for years brazenly pillaged the coastal towns of Northern Europe. Michael's life has been forged by the creed, "Anything can be yours if you are strong enough to take it." No foe, battle or carnage had fazed even the weakest of the crew - until now. When Michael and his men stumble upon a small village, the horrific and mysterious scene shakes even the most hardened of them to their very core. With similar evils spreading throughout Europe, Michael realizes that someone - or something - has both the strength and the will to take everything he holds dear. Pulled into a fight he neither wants nor thinks he can win, Michael uncovers the deeply hidden truths behind the legends of werewolves, vampires and zombies. It is revealed these legends were created to hide a much darker and frightening truth. In his struggle to survive, Michael forms crucial alliances to outwit and defeat an enemy whose power and numbers defy logic and whose crippling wrath is a threat to the very existence of mankind. The enemy is known as the Fallen ... and they have declared war.
