When seventeen-year-old Luke Maren joins his classmates on a history trip to The Valley of Valor-a fog-shrouded memorial site in rural France-he expects boredom, not battle. But when a sudden storm rolls in and the earth itself seems to shift beneath his feet, Luke finds himself standing not among stone crosses, but the freshly dug trenches of 1918. The soldiers who find him call him Lieutenant Talbot-a name whispered with both reverence and rage. Talbot, they say, betrayed his men and led them to slaughter. Now, surrounded by the spectral remnants of a doomed company reliving their final days, Luke must unravel the truth behind the betrayal before history-and the haunting-repeat themselves. As reality blurs and time frays, Luke races to clear Talbot's name and find a way home. But the ghosts of the fallen don't easily forgive, and in the Valley of Valor, every echo is a memory of something that refuses to die.
