Two enemies. One crater. An unbreakable bond forged at the edge of the world.
The Great War is a machine of industrial slaughter, reducing men to mere statistics, numbers on a ledger, and uniforms in the mud. For Julian Vance, a young British volunteer from Sussex who dreamed only of capturing light on canvas, and Erich von Weber, an idealistic architecture student from Stuttgart, the war was supposed to be a duty.
Instead, it becomes a trap.
Badly wounded and left behind during a chaotic assault, Julian and Erich find themselves cast into the same shell-torn crater in No Man's Land. As the hours bleed away and the cold sets in, the iron insignia of empires begin to mean nothing. Separated from the propaganda, the generals, and the flags, they are no longer an Englishman and a German—they are simply two boys sharing the same final breath.
In the quiet dark, they exchange personal tokens—a tarnished silver locket and a worn coin—and whisper their true names and memories into the void to keep the mud from swallowing their identities.
Poignant, lyrical, and profoundly moving, What Is Your Story is a haunting novel about the artificiality of borders, the dignity of the individual, and the enduring power of empathy and forgiveness in a world gone mad.
Step into the trenches, look past the crossfire, and discover a story that asks the ultimate question: What is your story—and what will you do with your own fragile life before the dark comes in?
