Layla Fitzpatrick lives a simple life, for a werewolf. And that’s just how she likes it. Her childhood was less than ideal. She’d like to spend her adult years flying under the radar of more powerful preternatural creatures. Because she knows from experience what happens when they notice you. Everything changes one early summer night when she attends a ritual bonding ceremony meant to join two werewolves together for life.

He spends his days in a skyscraper, building his family’s empire.

‘Master of Lies’ tells the extraordinary untold story of Anthony Blunt’s life as a spy. Based on extensive research into newly released files he is revealed as not simply ‘the fourth man’, but the most dangerous spy of the twentieth century. During the war, as the fate of the world hung in the balance, Blunt’s intelligence was being fed straight on to the desks of Hitler, Stalin and Churchill. His hand was secretly guiding our collective fate and his treason led to the deaths of tens of thousands. He casts a shadow which looms large to this day. The official narrative is that Blunt was the least of the Cambridge spies – and yet he was the one who got away with it. While the rest drank themselves to death in dingy Moscow flats, Blunt revelled in his brilliant career as an art historian, Surveyor of the Queen’s pictures and Knight of the Realm.

In the spirit of previous volumes, Damien Lewis reveals the untold stories of the war’s most daring and audacious escapes as executed by the world’s most famous fighting force, the SAS. Reaching back into the earliest origins of the SAS legend, and Operation Colossus, the volume opens with a series of death-defying escapes in Italy, where bluff, deception and audacity win the day. It moves on to an epic solo escape across the sun-blasted Sahara desert, as one man, long given up for dead, achieves the seemingly impossible. It goes on to chronicle one of the most successful raids by the SAS deep behind enemy lines, and how a terribly injured veteran of that mission used the secret escape lines of the Vatican to make it back to Allied lines, in a tale replete with cloak-and-dagger intrigue.
