Song of the Cinder: a Novel of the Great War

On the border of Gaul and the Holy Roman Empire, armies of the undead rise from the trenches to fight against clockwork automatons. Storms are summoned against artillery and aircraft instilled with the souls of warhorses rule the skies over Europe. American ace, John Lightfoot, witnesses an airship materialize and explode over no-man’s-land. As cities fall to ash, he and his comrades must stop a madman from severing the ties binding the Beast at the Center of Five Worlds before it can return and create Hell on earth. Song of the Cinder is an alternate history, diesel-punk fueled fantasy, where gods walk the earth, magic and technology compete for dominance, and tragic heroes battle skinwalkers, vampires, and chthonic gods to survive a never-ending war between the empires of the world.

About the Author

Clinton A. Harris didn't always want to be a writer. He started off wanting to be an engineer on a steam locomotive, then he wanted to dig up dinosaur bones, pilot airplanes, be a solider, an architect, an astronomer, artist, rock star, intergalactic smuggler...until years later, when he realized that writing was the best way to do everything he ever wanted to do. He lives in Colorado, where he somehow fits writing in-between his day job, raising his kids, and a few stolen hours of sleep at night.
