The Dark Pulse
The Dark Pulse is a dark fantasy/horror story about a man named Nolan who is captured --along with his family-- during an invasion by the brutal Republic of Kalyko...and explores the lengths a man will go to in order to restore his family's safety and freedom. It is set in an 19th-Century-Earth-like fantasy world riven by war, and secretly undercut by ancient, malevolent forces with their own nefarious agendas. Call it THE DARK TOWER meets 1917 (film) by way of BERSERK (manga).
