Each volume is written as one long chapter of the saga. Each volume is a complete, full-length novel. June, 1944. Normandy. An American unit pushes inland through barbed wire, bomb craters, and rubble. The wire won’t stay cut. The craters won’t cool. The night sounds wrong. After a hedgerow ambush, they take shelter in a shattered village and clear a cellar for the night. Behind a false wall, they find a doorframe sunk into packed earth, iron-hinged, dry as bone, untouched by blast or rot. It should not exist. It should not open. Once it does, the war changes. Nothing opens for free.
