A witch races against time to stop the end of the world in this sapphic fantasy adventure from the bestselling author of A Resistance of Witches
Fiona McGann is the best the British Academy of Witches has to offer—a gifted traveler, able to journey halfway across the world in the blink of an eye. Since the end of World War II, she’s been instrumental in the capture of countless Nazi criminals across the globe. Now, she’s being sent on a new mission with the worst partner possible: Rebecca Gagne, a French Resistance fighter with whom she shares a complicated romantic past.
Their target: Agnes Vogel, an elusive Nazi witch-scientist rumored to be building a fiendish army of ulfheðnar—Viking wolf-warriors of legend. It should be a routine track and capture; at first, the most difficult part is resisting the pull Fiona and Rebecca still feel towards one another, which only promises them both a world of fresh pain. But soon, they find themselves dangerously out of their depth: Agnes is versed in a powerful, unfamiliar magic, and her ulfheðnar prowl the forest, bloodthirsty and relentless. Quickly, the hunters become the hunted as the full, cataclysmic scope of Agnes’s ambitions are revealed.
Cursed, cut off from the Academy, and pursued by Agnes’s monstrous creations, Rebecca and Fiona have no choice but to put their faith in each other, and in Will Chapman—a British POW with haunted eyes and a wolf’s shadow, toward whom Fiona feels an inexplicable connection. To defeat Agnes, Fiona will have to set everything she thought she knew about magic—about herself—aside, careening through time and her own past, where lies a darkness that she has spent her whole life trying to forget. Now she’ll have to face it, accept it—or watch the world burn.
