Fire and Foxholes is live!

Azarola awakens to pain, blood, and the percussion of bombs on a dusty battlefield. He picks up the rifle in front of him and fights his way to relief. How did he get here? What war is this? Where is Rohita?

Now a mechanic in the Seventeenth Combat Engineering Regiment of the Inexan Army, Azarola serves his country in their pitched war with Averna over the desert nation of Karifiga. While Inexa relies on tanks and planes, Averna bends sandstorms to its will and summons tank-trashing beasts and dogfighting dragons. Never short of work, Azarola and his crew struggle under fire to keep the Inexan forces fighting. If Azarola wants to find Rohita, he must first survive the war!

This is the third book of the Black Mark series.

Before they can reach their first destination, an entire town disappears around them. Counting their blessings, they move on, haunted by the events of that terrifying night. Their reprieve does not last for long and the disaster they left behind follows them, threatening to destroy their new home, lives, and sanity. To spread their warning before another tragedy strikes, they seek to harness the emergent power of radio and “all-talking” film. What sort of deal will they make to survive?

Will Azarola be able to muster up the forces necessary to break the curse?
