At the heart of this spellbinding novel is David Carter, a young man whose life changes forever when he discovers a mysterious bottle hidden in his family’s apartment.

The bottle becomes a mirror for identity, the bloodline a bridge between generations, and the war a reckoning between who we were and who we become.

As the first volume in an expansive saga, McClendon’s debut positions itself among the great modern myths, a story that refuses to separate the ordinary from the divine. With lyrical mastery and emotional depth, The Bottle, The Bloodline, The War reminds readers that some wars are not fought for power, but for remembrance.
