Description

“Fans of Alan Furst will find something new to obsess over. Ronan writes with rare authority.”

Glenn Meade, international bestselling author

A WWII occult thriller built on real history.

‘I can help you. But you will owe me.’

He has made this offer for two thousand years. To emperors. To generals. To a failed painter in Vienna. No one refuses, because he only appears when you are desperate, and his help always arrives. The price comes later. And it is never money.

He calls himself Historian. He put the Spear of Destiny in Hitler’s hands. He collects souls through debts and favors, binding them into an eternal ledger. War is his harvest. World War II is his masterpiece.

Dresden, 1942. Theo Engel is desperate. His son is freezing in the ruins of Stalingrad. His daughter came home from a regime camp with a shaved head and a defiant heart. His factory shelters workers the Gestapo would shoot him for hiding. Historian makes him the offer.

Theo refuses. He will not bargain. He will not ask. Not even for his family.

Only one brotherhood has ever stood against Historian. They are the Order of the Seal, and they are running out of time.

Because a being that has never been refused will burn half a continent to understand why one man said no.

Hitler’s war. The devil’s ledger.

“Ray Ronan, a new name to contend with.”

Marc Eliot, New York Times bestselling author
