A secluded castle somewhere in the south of Germany serves as a laboratory for experiments conducted upon human prisoners, experiments as vile as they are deadly.Īcross the English Channel, tucked into the sleepy Cumbrian countryside, lies the Library, the repository of occult knowledge for the Société des Éclairées, an international organization of diabolists. In the waning days of World War II, with Allied victory all but certain, desperate Nazi diabolists search for a demonic superweapon to turn the tide.
The cult is masquerading as a church promising salvation through temperance and a return to “the good old days,” so it’s hard for Ellie to take a stand against them, especially when her father joins, but Ellie loves Long Island, and she loves her family, and she’ll do whatever it takes to ensure neither is torn apart.Two young witches, once inseparable, are set at odds by secrets and wildly dangerous magic. Distilled from foul mushrooms by a cult of diabolists, those who drink it see terrible things-like the destruction of Long Island in fire and flood. What Ellie doesn’t know is that this booze is special. So desperate that when wealthy strangers ask her to procure libations for an extravagant party Ellie sells them everything she has, including some booze she acquired under unusual circumstances.
It’s dangerous work under Prohibition-independent operators like her are despised by federal agents and mobsters alike-but Ellie’s brother was accepted to college and Ellie’s desperate to see him go. Tanzer is absolutely one to watch.” - Seanan McGuire, bestselling, award-winning author of In an Absent DreamĪmityville baywoman Ellie West fishes by day and bootlegs moonshine by night. This book is a delicate dream, mixing its own internal mythology with a brutal tale of prejudice and human frailty.
