De: John Jones

In the dying days of World War I, three brothers are born in the German port city of Danzig. Quietly they are separated before they are old enough to remember. Two are raised English. One stays German. Will their paths ever cross?

When the drums of a second, darker war begin to sound, what happens to three men shaped by different worldviews, different languages, different gods. If they share the same blood, and the moment comes to choose a side, will loyalty to a nation be stronger than something deeper they can't yet name? And when the smoke finally clears, will there be anything left worth finding?

One Blood is a sweeping work of historical fiction about identity, belonging, and the question no war can answer: Can the same blood run through enemies?

John Jones spent years researching the human cost of World War II before writing One Blood— not the battles, but the lives quietly rearranged by them. He was drawn to a question historians rarely answer: what happened to the ordinary people history sorted into the wrong places at the wrong time?

His writing is shaped by a deep respect for the period and a belief that fiction can reach truths that facts alone cannot. One Blood is his debut novel.

John Jones lives and writes in the East Riding of Yorkshire, within sight of the North Sea that once separated Britain from its enemies and its trading partners. That complicated proximity never left him.
