Prayers In The Air (Box Set). Prayers In The Air

Five novels. Five impossible nights. One war that changed everything. Prayers in the Air is literary fiction set during and after the First World War-following strangers thrown together in trenches and farmhouses, villages and cities, on the frontlines and in the years after. Each book compresses time and space: one night, one farm, one village, one road. Each stands alone. Together, they form a single arc about what survives when everything else is taken.
Book 1: Sergei and Hans - Christmas Eve, 1914. A Russian prisoner and a German guard spend one night in a cabin on the Eastern Front. Enemies. Then something else. Book 2: The Repair - Northern France, 1917. A German pilot crashes at a French family's farm. They could kill him. Instead, they repair his plane-knowing he'll use it to kill again. Book 3: Cardinal in the Snow - South Tyrol, 1917. Ten-year-old Fernando watches his village change hands between Austria and Italy.
Same streets. Different flag. Same boy. Different name. Book 4: The Muddy Road Forward - The Somme, 1918. Three ambulance drivers search for meaning in the mud. Carrying the wounded. Carrying each other. Trying not to break. Book 5: Never Fully Buried - Paris, 1923. One night in a jazz bar in Montmartre. Veterans, prostitutes, priests, dancers, musicians-all still carrying the war. All trying to survive what they thought they'd buried.
Grace appears where you don't expect it. Connection forms across enemy lines, across impossible divides. This is what survival looks like. Messy. Broken. Still breathing.
