From "a major talent," a WWII alternate military history that pits German soldiers with superpowers against British occult forces (George R.R. Martin,
New York Times-bestselling author of
Game of Thrones).
It's 1939. The Nazis have supermen, the British have demons, and one perfectly normal man gets caught in between.
Raybould Marsh is a British secret agent in the early days of the Second World War, haunted by something strange he saw on a mission during the Spanish Civil War: a German woman with wires going into her head who looked at him as if she knew him.
When the Nazis start running missions with people who have unnatural abilities-a woman who can turn invisible, a man who can walk through walls, and the woman Marsh saw in Spain who can use her knowledge of the future to twist the present-Marsh is the man who has to face them. He rallies the secret warlocks of Britain to hold the impending invasion at bay. But magic always exacts a price. Eventually, the sacrifice necessary to defeat the enemy will be as terrible as outright defeat would be.
Bitter Seeds is an epic tale of a twentieth century like ours and also profoundly different.
"Exciting and intense... The clash of magic and (mad) science meshes perfectly with the tumultuous setting." -
Publishers Weekly
"A white-knuckle plot, beautiful descriptions, and complex characters-an unstoppable Vickers of a novel." -Cory Doctorow,
New York Times-bestselling author of
The Bezzle
"[Bitter Seeds] may rival Naomi Novik's Tales of Temeraire as a sustained historical fantasy." -
