In this novel by the creator of Alternate History Hub, WWII never happened, all of Europe hails Hitler, and the Mediterranean Sea is a desert.
Instead of attempting to take over the world, Adolf Hitler and his Nazi party orchestrate an entirely different, yet equally ambitious plan: draining the Mediterranean Sea. With the promise of fertile new land for settlement, millions of jobs and endless hydroelectric energy, all of Europe signs a treaty called The Atlantropa Articles to bring about this new world.
With Hitler hailed as a new Napoleon, fascism becomes a mainstream ideology. Two millennia later, Europe has been united under the swastika. But the plan of a lush new land was never realized. Instead, the Mediterranean Sea has become a desert basin known only as the Kiln, and southern Europe has been abandoned. This is where Ansel Engel's story begins. Deep in the Kiln, Ansel faithfully serves the Reich-until a shocking discovery leads him to unravel generations of lies and false prophets.
