Summary
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 loss would be.
