'An absorbing read' The Times
'Full of impeccably researched WW2 detail. Compelling' Daily Mail

HITLER HAD TWO FORTUNE TELLERS.
ONE PREDICTED HIS RISE TO POWER, THE OTHER AIMED FOR HIS DEMISE.

Berlin, 1940: Hitler’s army is on the rise. When he requests Edith Creutzen become his personal fortune teller, she’s left no choice but to accept.

As the days pass and his trust in her grows, Edith soon realises how powerful she has become. Cold her guidance deceive the most dangerous man in the world?

One person stands in her way: Hitler’s enigmatic right-hand man. Is he friend or foe, and would he still care for her if he knew where her loyalties lay?

Armed with courage and conviction, Edith sets out to change the course of history. But the price of success is high, and the closer she gets, the more she stands to lose…
