Martyr (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798997886301)

2207 A.D. - After two years stationed as a peacekeeper in the war-torn remains of Prince George, Damien expects his return from the DMZ to be tense but uneventful. Instead, the 283rd Battalion is driven off course into the ruins of a legendary battlefield crawling with Scourge and relentless war machines long thought extinct.

But surviving the journey home is only the beginning.

Back home, Damien finds a Republic he no longer recognizes, one frighteningly similar to the Regime he left behind. Veterans are left destitute on the street, surveillance drones lurk around every corner, and civilians are disappearing as accusations of crimes against the Church and state steadily escalate.

When the government demands his silence about what happened on the road home, Damien begins to question what his homeland has become-and what, exactly, his sister has been up to during his deployment.

The Western North America series culminates in the world of Nightfall's first full-length novel. This gritty military sci-fi dystopia launches a new trilogy centered on a familiar family caught between religious loyalty and an increasingly authoritarian government. With atmospheric horror, suspense, brutal combat, and M.P. Dawes's signature worldbuilding, this is only the beginning of Nightfall's next chapter.
