Valor Mortis story premise

The Valor Mortis story follows William Dowsett, an English soldier who rejected monarchy and joined Napoleon’s army, drawn to the idea of a unified Europe. He returns from death into a continent altered by a spreading plague. His revived body and supernatural power make survival possible while raising questions about what he has become.

Valor Mortis story: alternate history

The Valor Mortis story rewrites history: Napoleon won at Waterloo, and the advance later stalled in the East. The ruined world is not presented as a historically accurate account of the real Napoleonic wars. Plague, corruption and Transmutations are central to its fiction.
