I 1970’erne raser Den Kolde Krig i Prags mørke gyder. Samtidig udspiller der sig en gammel konflikt mellem to okkulte samfund: Isen og Flammen. Engang havde den amerikanske CIA-agent Gabe Pritchard troet, at den eneste hemmelige verden, der fandtes, var den, som han levede og arbejdede i. Det ændrede sig under en udsending til Kairo, hvor et magisk væsen trængte ind og bosatte sig i hans hoved. På den modsatte side står heksen Tanya Morozova, som viste loyalitet over for Isen, længe før hun blev agent hos det russiske statspoliti, KBG. Begge agenter får nu sat loyaliteten over for deres land på prøve, når de indser, at de må arbejde sammen for at forhindre Flammen i at ødelægge verden.SLX

For decades, Britain's warlocks have been all that stands between the British Empire and the Soviet Union - a vast domain stretching from the Pacific Ocean to the shores of the English Channel. Now each wizard's death is another blow to Britain's national security.Meanwhile, a brother and sister - the subjects of a twisted Nazi experiment to imbue ordinary people with superhuman abilities - escape from a top-secret facility deep behind the Iron Curtain. They head for England, because that's where former spy Raybould Marsh lives. And Gretel, the mad seer, has plans for him. As Marsh is once again drawn into the world of Milkweed, he discovers that Britain's darkest acts didn't end with the war. And while he strives to protect queen and country, he is forced to confront his own willingness to accept victory at any cost.
The history of the Twentieth Century has been shaped by a secret conflict between technology and magic. When a twisted Nazi scientist devised a way to imbue ordinary humans with supernatural abilities - to walk through walls, throw fire and see the future - his work became the prized possession of first the Third Reich, then the Soviet Army. Only Britain's warlocks, and the dark magics they yield, have successfully countered the threat posed by these superhuman armies. But for decades, this conflict has been manipulated by Gretel, the mad seer. And now her long plan has come to fruition. And with it, a danger vastly greater than anything the world has known. Now British Intelligence officer Raybould Marsh must make a last-ditch effort to change the course of history - if his nation, and those he loves, are to survive.
The year is 1939. Raybould Marsh and other members of British Intelligence have gathered to watch a damaged reel of film in a darkened room. It appears to show German troops walking through walls, bursting into flames and hurling tanks into the air from afar.If the British are to believe their eyes, a twisted Nazi scientist has been endowing German troops with unnatural, unstoppable powers. And Raybould will be forced to resort to dark methods to hold the impending invasion at bay.But dealing with the occult exacts a price. And that price must be paid in blood.Ian Tregillis' Bitter Seeds is a chilling masterpiece - a tale of a twentieth century like our own and also profoundly different.
