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 “thoroughly charming and deftly paced … an accomplished and enjoyable debut.” 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 couldn’t 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 can’t hide what he truly is. When a fatally poisoned patient exposes Miles’ healing gift and his witchmark, he must put his anonymity and freedom at risk to investigate his patient’s murder. To find the truth he’ll need to rely on the family he despises, and on the kindness of the most gorgeous man he’s ever seen. “This book has it all: alternate history Edwardian world, magic system worldbuilding, murder mystery, family drama, examination of class systems—did I mention magic?—and a sweet male/male romance.”—Alyssa Cole

C.L Polk målar med stor skicklighet en värld som samtidigt lyckas vara både realistisk och magisk. Där samhället, krigen och de djupa orättvisorna på många sätt påminner om våran värld, men där förekomsten av magi förändrar och formar hela samhället i grunden, men också maktstrukturer och relationer mellan karaktärer. Fantastiska karaktärer. Och slutet lyckas knyta ihop nästan alla trådar. Ser fram emot att läsa vidare.
