*Spoilers for Requiem for a Soldier, the Watty Award-winning first book in the Requiem series! But no spoilers for Requiem for a Love, at least not yet, anyway* Before he moved to Alaska, before he was nearly killed in Afghanistan, and before he enlisted, Ryan was just a boy trying to escape the life his family had planned out for him. In this prequel to Requiem for a Soldier, discover how Ryan evolved from spoiled West LA rich boy to brooding solitary veteran while I try to get over writers block :) Maybe you'll see some other characters you recognize along the way.
