The Thousand-Year Lie

A dark alternate history of loyalty, love, and rebellion

In a world where love is treason, one boy learns the truth about the Reich, and himself.

In a fractured future where the Nazis won the war and Britain is just another province in the Reich, sixteen-year-old Wilfred is a model student: loyal, disciplined, unthinking.

Until he’s kidnapped by the Resistance.

Now, everything he believed: his country, his family, even himself, is in question. Forced to confront the lies of his past and the horrors of the present, Wilfred finds unexpected solace in the rebel who watches over him: Samuel. Charismatic. Tender. Dangerous.

As Wilfred falls deeper – into the movement, into memory, into love – he must choose between the boy who saved him and the man who might destroy him. Because th Resistence is not what it seems.

And neither is freedom.

A devastating coming-of-age story set against the collapse of a fascist empire, The Thousand-Year Lie is about love as a weapon, truth as rebellion, and what survives when the war ends.

Perfect for fans of The Man in the High Castle, They Both Die at the End, and The Hunger Games, but queerer, angrier, and more personal.
