The Witch Who Came in From the Cold
The Cold War rages in the back rooms and dark alleys of 1970s Prague—and on one misty night an American discovers that the city and its spies have become the new front of another, more ancient war—a war of magic.
Now a CIA agent and a KGB operative must forge an uneasy alliance in order to stop a secret occult society from destroying the world. When spies and sorcerers cross murky lines to do battle for home and country—who do you trust?
The Witch Who Came in from The Cold is a Realm production created by Max Gladstone and Lindsey Smith, and written by Max Gladstone, Lindsey Smith, Cassandra Rose Clarke, Michael Swanwick, Ian Tregillis, and Fran Wilde. Listen away.
