About the book

'A stunning debut, more modern than tomorrow' TERRY HAYES

A soldier with no name looking for a man that no one has ever seen.

A student with a past she can't remember.
And a husband who is a loving father... or a ruthless despot.

Michelle lives a quiet life in Amsterdam with her husband Daniel and their family. But when Daniel's twin, the President of Kazichia, suddenly dies in a car crash, Daniel has no choice but to return home for the first time in twenty years, and Michelle follows along.

From the moment they arrive, Daniel is pressured to succeed his brother as President. Kazichia, a former Soviet state, has been ruled by his family for three generations, and now that the throne is empty, the country is left teetering on a knife-edge.

As tensions begin to rise, Michelle feels more and more that they should flee. But when an anonymous rebel leader - known only as The Man With a Thousand Faces - initiates a full-blown attack, Daniel decides to step in. But will he be able to lead the country through the crisis? And if he does, will he be able to give up his newfound power? Or will Michelle lose her husband to his own hunger for greater political reign?

In a world of fake news and big data, lines between fiction and reality are blurred. And the mythical figure behind it all is THE MAN WITH A THOUSAND FACES.
