The Revenant's Mark - Wesley C. Martin

\nA dark historical fantasy novel set during the American Revolution\n \n\n \nJacob Hawthorne was hanged as a traitor-forgotten by the cause he fought for, buried in a shallow grave by those he fought against. But death didn't keep him. The forest brought him back.\n \n\n \nNow bound to an ancient and wild power, Jacob walks again as a revenant-something more than man, less than myth. Haunted by visions and a mysterious mark burned beneath his ribs, he joins two rebel soldiers on a perilous journey through war-torn colonies and spirit-haunted woods.\n \nAs the Revolutionary War rages, a secret faction known as the Golden Circle seeks to harness the power of the forest spirits for their own ends-twisting the old magicks into a weapon neither crown nor colony can stop. Jacob must reckon with what he's become, what he was brought back to do, and whether the soul of a dead man can still choose the right side.\n \n\n \nEpic in scope and grounded in grit, The Revenant's Mark blends dark Americana, supernatural horror, and historical fiction into a haunting tale of war, identity, and the ancient forces buried in the soil of a still-fighting land.\n \n\n
