"Where The Wounded Trees Wait"
By Paul Edwards
At the battlefield memorial at Mametz, Caryl searches for the place where her grandfather Huw lost his life. Gifted with a psychic ability passed down from her grandmother, she begins a journey into the past, uncovering truths which throw light not just on her family's history but her own life. Amidst the revelations of Huw's final days, connections form as past and present grow ever closer and Caryl's own destiny is revealed.
"Maria"
By Terry Grimwood
The sacrifice of war has new meaning for Major Ernst Dreyer. The son of an abusive father, he has escaped his past and is now a Major in the German army, his company held in reserve as the British mount their attack. His request that the men be moved up to the front line arises from more than a sense of honour or patriotism - much more is at stake than the future of his homeland. A deal has been made, one which must not be broken.
"All Hell"
By Richard Farren Barber
The horrors of the Great War are felt all over the world - not least by those left behind, the mothers of the soldiers fighting in the trenches. They wait every day for the arrival of the delivery boy bringing the letters that tell of the death of another son, hoping that this is not their turn. They will do anything to ensure the safety of their boys. When a mysterious stranger arrives in New Radford, she brings with her the promise of hope, a way of ensuring the safety of the young men of the Nottinghamshire town. Mary Fothergill is drawn to the woman, desperate to keep her sons William and Henry alive - but will the woman's demands be too high a price to pay?
"The Lost"
By Anthony Watson
Amid the rain and mud of Passchendaele, an army chaplain and medical officer form a friendship and uncover the cursed history of the battlefield which is their temporary home. An evil long since dormant is reawakening and the pair find themselves in a race against time to combat the supernatural horrors of the past, even as the third battle of Ypres rages around them.
