Heartbound

In 1815, war should have ended. Instead, Emperor Napoleon returned from exile with an army reshaped by forbidden magic. Juggernauts march like living fortresses. Cannons drink blood and shriek when fired. And the Heartbound—elite soldiers who die, rise, and remember everything—lead the charge. You are one of them. On the Prussian front, a single French corps holds a ruined village against an army that has no idea what horrors march against them. Every death you take drags you deeper into the curse. Every resurrection tears another piece of humanity away. Your Witch companion, Sabine Valois, can stitch your heart and call your soul back—but she can’t save you from what you’re becoming. As the Prussians discover the truth and Europe realizes Napoleon’s new war is one of sorcery and suffering, you must decide what kind of monster you will be: the Empire’s immortal weapon… or the one who finally breaks the cycle of Live, Fight, Die, Repeat.
