In the second novel in a thrilling Cold War fantasy series, American magician Karen O'Neil travels to Cuba to find a missing young girl intertwined with a new kind of magic that threatens to upend the balance of power of the whole world.

AFTER THE WALL FELL, NOTHING COULD BE THE SAME.

In Cold War Berlin, American magician Karen O'Neil defeated the ghosts of Germany's past and sealed the breach that threatened the whole world, but in doing so she learned a terrible truth: Magic cannot be trusted.

Despite her wariness of the new and growing powers she gained in Germany, Karen agrees to help an old friend and is drawn to Cuba, a world of opulence run by a corrupt government and ruthless, magic-obsessed mobsters.

In Havana, while the fires of revolution kindle, Karen searches for a missing girl whose fate is intertwined with impossible and deadly magic. And she knows she's being watched; both the Soviets and the CIA have designs on this island paradise, and their eyes are everywhere. But spies and rebels aren't the only dangers hiding in Havana's long shadows, and Karen will learn that the future can be just as dangerous as the past.

MANKIND WILL ALWAYS FIND NEW WAYS TO CREATE MONSTERS.

Praise for Revolution

Praise for Breach

"Magic has never felt so real. W. L. Goodwater's debut, Breach, presents an alternate world that feels as authentic as true history, even when steeped in spellcraft and magic. It reminded me of the best of Jim Butcher, but charts a path all its own."--James Rollins, #1 New York Times bestselling author of The Demon Crown

"Goodwater's debut is a fantastic alternate version of the Cold War era....Magic, espionage, and history combine in this thrilling, fast-paced fantasy."--Booklist

"Goodwater sprinkles powerful truths about the nature of power into this entertaining tale of magic and espionage...[a] well-constructed world and thrilling vibe."--Publishers Weekly

"Goodwater delivers one surprise after another in his high-octane magical spy thriller Breach. It's like Lev Grossman's The Magicians meets John le Carré's classic The Spy Who Came in from the Cold, but with more action and better one-liners."--David Mack, New York Times bestselling author of the Dark Arts series
