About this listen

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.

I love the narrator crisp and clear and have enjoyed the different character voices over the years of listening to the books. But in the last few he has forgotten and changed the characters voices, ie Levistus, he used to have a sickly smooth voice and this has distinctly changed in this book, same for Morden. It sounds picky but makes a difference.

The narrator forgets his voices

I really though the author had painted himself into a corner in this series but this book blows the narrative wide open again! Alex finds direction and the book starts to truly wrestle with the realities of the council's authority.

Fantastic

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.

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
