Alex Verus faces his dark side in this return to the best-selling urban fantasy series about a London-based mage.

To protect his friends, Mage Alex Verus has had to change - and embrace his dark side. But the life mage Anne has changed too and made a bond with a dangerous power. She's going after everyone she's got a grudge against - and it's a long list.

In the meantime, Alex has to deal with his arch-enemy, Levistus. The Council's death squads are hunting Alex as well as Anne, and the only way for Alex to stop them is to end his long war with Levistus and the Council, by whatever means necessary. It will take everything Alex has to stay a step ahead of the Council and stop Anne from letting the world burn.

To really appreciate this book, I had to reread the last one. It ties up lots of lose ends from the entire sequence. In it Alex undergoes a transformation physical, magical and psychological. Many of the protagonists from earlier books meet their comeuppance, and the scene is set for final confrontations in the next volume.
I would recommend it

Another action packed adventure .
Alex is the English version of Harry Dresden although very different characters and storylines Benedict jacka's storytelling is on par with Jim Butcher....I have enjoyed Alex's adventures and cannot wait for the next book . The only positive thing about this pandemic is that we can escape into another world through books .
Thank you for imagination it's precious.

Another fun installment. The choices you make eh? Great to dip back into Alex's world and see what misfortune he tries to sidestep, or not, again.

It. Doesn't. Stop. Goes at a gallop all the way

Never fails to impress these books are so well written. Every fight is described to the last chip of exploding statue. There is some light relief with moments that had me laughing out loud. Now I am all keyed up ready for the next instalment.

Brilliant

I am a listener/reader of a lot of supernatural series. I have really grown into this series and this book has developed the main character considerably. I really enjoyed the book and it certainly left me ready for the next one but I can’t help feeling it could of been a few chapters longer moving us towards the challenges to come.

Still a good instalment into the series though and you can see the very core changes to the lead characters mindset.
