In But a Wandering Voice, the Returned are hell-bent on taking the White House. The Knight Nurses of the Order of St. John are fearless in combat, but they are no match for the Returned’s propaganda machine.
When a magic ritual goes awry at the end of the First Crusade, a group of Knights Hospitaller are mistakenly made immortal, doomed to be reborn after each death. The knights fight with sword and magic, and, like the Hospitallers they once were, they care for the sick and dying. Mark Leo Tapper, author of the award-winning novel, The Vials of Our Wrath, sets The K-Nurse series in present-day America. In But a Wandering Voice, the world trembles as the Returned and their alt-right minions move toward absolute power. Jude’s previous lives haunt Paul. Thomas, the knights’ most powerful mage, is in the ICU, and the Chief Executive Officer --and greatest evil sorcerer-- of the Returned is running for president of the United States. All this while the Council tries to decipher Aurora’s mysterious origins. Is this a battle the knights can’t win? Praise for The Vials of Our Wrath: "Tapper offers up a thrilling look into the inevitable sides of morality, scientific directive, and pursuing health to its extreme. His grasp of advanced medicine and people’s wants and fears make for an incredible read."Kristi Chadwick, Library Journal Indie Ebook Awards"One of the things I love the most is the idea of the k-nurses being healers as well as warriors. Not only do they destroy, but they create. They aren’t mindless zealots or brutish warriors, but enlightened and cultured protectors on more than one front of a colossal war. Such a great take."Goodreads Review". . .your readers need this series in these times."Sheryl Rapée-Adams. Editor and Founder of Cat’s Eye Copyediting"I would say the final strength of this tale, or rather series, is its absolute uniqueness. There is nothing quite like it out there." Jonathan Maas, Author of City of gods -Hellenica and Time CapsleFor lovers of magical realism, historical fantasy, LGBTQ+ fantasy, and books for nurses.
