Europe is a land of magic now.

“We exist,” wizards announced to the rest of the world with the intention to rule it. They succeeded.

Not all wizards shared that ambition. Three friends grew up fighting a war against it. Now one has been executed and the other two are stranded on opposite sides of the Curtain that cloaks the new Europe. Until witnesses are smuggled through and dissent stirs once more inside the magical realm.

Marie Lunga takes you beyond the Curtain on a sweeping journey across many European cultures, into a world where magic stretches the limits of what you can do, making it all the more important to remember what you should do.

For all the grown Potterheads in the world and for fans of Babel or The Will of the Many now comes high-stakes debut from an European author.
