Cannons and warplanes versus giants and witches. What else can happen?

An unusual battle for Paris, featuring Allies with modern weapons and wizards versus an Empire that uses magic and sorcery. At first, the weapons give the Allies an advantage, but then the Empire brings in giants and later, even more powerful beasts.

As the battle takes place, a British Intelligence officer struggles to protect a man with the ability to see into the future, a future where the battle does not go well for the Allies, but whose warnings are ignored by field officers.

It would require an extraordinary event to turn the tide of battle. But while the immediate battle is over, the officer is not happy with the implications of the event for the war in general.
