About this listen

Book one in a fantasy series of super rich magical dynasties and warring heirs - from the author of the million-copy-selling Alex Verus series. For readers of contemporary fantasy who enjoy the methods and magicians of dark academia...

ANYONE CAN USE MAGIC - IF THEY CAN AFFORD THE PRICE...

In a world where everything magical is bought up and controlled by the super rich - Stephen Oakwood has inherited a natural talent for magic. Plunged by his father's disappearance into a glittering world of scheming dynasties, warring patriarchs and vicious scions, Stephen must navigate magical high society and learn to control his gifts.

Dangerous enemies await the Oakwood heir, and even more dangerous allies: if Stephen cannot master his magic quickly and learn to distinguish friend from foe, his name may end up on the missing persons list, just like his father.

PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying PDF will be available in your Audible Library along with the audio.

Critic reviews

'Jacka has drawn a potent new world of magic controlled by a privileged few, and Stephen Oakwood is the sigil-wielding rebel we didn't know we needed.' (New York Times bestselling author Chloe Neill)

Loved it so much couldn't stop listening. The story was told well and the magic was really interesting

Obsessed

I like to spend time on a good audio book, listening to it over a week or two and savouring the experience. Sadly, this book was so compelling that I tore through it in around two days. And now I have to wait another year or so until the sequel. Life is so unfair! I don't remember any book that grabbed me like this, and I'm not even a fan of the genre, particularly, it's just a great story. A brilliant read, relatable protagonist and carefully constructed world which is entirely convincing. Just read it, it's outstanding. Excellent narration too.

Brilliantly written, kept me hooked

I'm obsessed. congratulations to author and narrator both for such a brilliantly executed new series.

I'm 1979 born Londoner so maybe I'm biased but this hits all the beats.

Absolute perfection

Another great read and I shall boldly say better than AV series. The only downside was I finished it in two days and now am left waiting for book number 2. Hurryyyyy up lol

A heartbeat of a listen.
