The Seventh Son is an instant Sunday Times bestseller.

'Genuinely thought-provoking' - The Times

'Extraordinary' - William Boyd

'Faulks is an enviably graceful and economical writer' - Guardian

A child will be born who will change everything.

Tech billionaire Lukas Parn has an ambitious plan. Behind the doors of the IVF clinic in his London institute, a daring switch is made. Young academic Talissa Adam believes she is simply carrying a child for a grateful family, but the baby inside her is different from any living human.

The boy, Seth, grows up unaware, though his parents know that he's different - he can't make plans, is unaware of danger, and seems to have at least one extra sense. But as Seth becomes a man, the truth about him is revealed and the world starts to hunt him down.

'An unsettling book from one of our most popular novelists; it's also one of his best' - Financial Times

'His greatest novel yet' - Antony Beevor

'Profoundly moving . . . a wonderful and life-affirming love story' - James Holland

'Original and enthralling' - Peter James
