Alone

Buried beneath the ruins of Jerusalem, Lucien should have died. Instead, he awakens in darkness.

The city he fought to defend is gone. His brothers are gone. The world has moved on without him. Armed with little more than a weathered cloak, fading memories, and a plain wooden cup salvaged from the depths of a forgotten refuge, Lucien begins a journey with no destination and no clear purpose.

As years turn to decades and kingdoms rise and fall around him, he wanders a changing world in search of something he cannot name. Along the way he encounters war, plague, faith, friendship, and loss, each leaving its mark upon a man struggling to remain true to vows sworn beneath the walls of Jerusalem.

Yet with every passing year, unsettling questions follow him.

Why does the past refuse to release its grip? Why do old wounds heal when they should not? And how long can one man carry the weight of memories that no one else remembers?

Spanning centuries of history and filled with unforgettable characters, The Long Road Home: Alone is a sweeping tale of loyalty, sacrifice, and endurance. It is the story of a man searching for purpose in a world that never stops changing-and discovering that some promises can outlive empires.

From author Chris Sachs comes the second installment in The Long Road Home series, a powerful historical epic about loss, memory, and the roads we continue to walk long after home is gone.
