Beschreibung

A riveting, epic historical novel set in 1940's Germany.

For all her life, idealistic 20-year-old bookworm Magdalena Arber has been split down the middle: veering wildly between fidelity to indoctrinated Nazi beliefs, and her father's humanist values. Then comes the summons–the Nazi War Labour Service is conscripting her into a teaching position in East Prussia. Magda is elated. It's a release from the cosy cage of childhood, and a chance to form young minds.

She enters a lush rural world of forests, lakes, and meadows where order prevails. Yet there are monstrous hands out to shape the whole continuum of earthly creatures. The Gestapo are a lurking darkness. There is bombing further East, and news of a moving Russian front. Will Alt Schönbek burn as well? Can Magda survive?

    All incubi have a price, a curse-specified number of couplings they require before their curse can break and they turn back into a human.
    When Friedrich, the most popular jade in Idyll's thriving brothel, gets hired by the mayor to clear an incubus out of the old haunted house on the edge of town, he doesn't think much about what will come after the poor soul's curse is broken. So he's more than a little taken aback when the newly-restored Nathan first rebuffs him, and then backtracks on his initial hostility and seeks out his services again -- just for tea and conversation, of course. 
    Juggling a busy professional life, appeasing the friends he left behind to take the mayor's commission, and teasing his best friend about his own budding romance, Friedrich doesn't notice himself falling for the new man in town until it's too late to go back. But does Nathan want more from Friedrich than he pays for?

When her boss informs her she needs to transfer to The Cities from her office at Lake Michigan she decides it's a good time to quit and to start her dream business selling her art at a small artisan shop in Strawberry Sands.

What he's found is that he's not any happier at the top than he was while he was on the bottom. The one ray of sunshine in his life is his administrative assistant, Clara Landry, and she's just informed him that she's quitting.

    So he follows her to Strawberry Sands, and what he finds there will change his life forever.
