WINNER of the 2019 World Fantasy Award for Best Novel, and a finalist for the Nebula Award, the Locus Award, and the Lammy Award! C. L. Polk arrives on the scene with Witchmark, a stunning, addictive fantasy that combines intrigue, magic, betrayal, and romance. The New York Times calls it âthoroughly charming and deftly paced ⊠an accomplished and enjoyable debut.â In an original world reminiscent of Edwardian England in the shadow of a World War, cabals of noble families use their unique magical gifts to control the fates of nations, while one young man seeks only to live a life of his own. Magic marked Miles Singer for suffering the day he was born, doomed either to be enslaved to his family's interest or to be committed to a witches' asylum. He went to war to escape his destiny and came home a different man, but he couldnât leave his past behind. The war between Aeland and Laneer leaves men changed, strangers to their friends and family, but even after faking his own death and reinventing himself as a doctor at a cash-strapped veterans' hospital, Miles canât hide what he truly is. When a fatally poisoned patient exposes Milesâ healing gift and his witchmark, he must put his anonymity and freedom at risk to investigate his patientâs murder. To find the truth heâll need to rely on the family he despises, and on the kindness of the most gorgeous man heâs ever seen. âThis book has it all: alternate history Edwardian world, magic system worldbuilding, murder mystery, family drama, examination of class systemsâdid I mention magic?âand a sweet male/male romance.ââAlyssa Cole

C.L Polk mÄlar med stor skicklighet en vÀrld som samtidigt lyckas vara bÄde realistisk och magisk. DÀr samhÀllet, krigen och de djupa orÀttvisorna pÄ mÄnga sÀtt pÄminner om vÄran vÀrld, men dÀr förekomsten av magi förÀndrar och formar hela samhÀllet i grunden, men ocksÄ maktstrukturer och relationer mellan karaktÀrer. Fantastiska karaktÀrer. Och slutet lyckas knyta ihop nÀstan alla trÄdar. Ser fram emot att lÀsa vidare.
