Overview

They were sent to a quiet garrison. They found an army from hell. December 1941. As World War II rages, young Canadian soldier Andrew Barnes arrives in Hong Kong with the ""C Force,"" expecting peaceful duty. Instead, they are thrown into the front lines of a brutal Japanese invasion. But the true enemy is far more terrifying. In the tunnels of the Gin Drinkers' Line and the ruins of fallen Stanley, Barnes uncovers a truth that defies all reason. The Japanese forces are not merely fanatical-they are possessed. Channeling an ancient, ravenous evil through a state-sanctioned pact, they have become an unstoppable host of demonic hunger. Bullets can't kill what's already dead inside. As the Allied garrison makes its last stand, Barnes and a dwindling band of survivors realize they are not just fighting for territory. They are fighting against a ritual older than history, a sacrificial ceremony meant to consecrate the island as a permanent altar to a god of emptiness. Their only weapon is the one thing the darkness cannot consume: the unwilling, unyielding witness of a human soul who refuses to consent. Blending meticulous historical detail with bone-chilling supernatural horror, The August Sacrifice is a gripping tale of a forgotten WWII battle where the real war wasn't for land, but for the very soul of every man on the island.
