About this listen

His sanity restored, Felix Harrowgate knows there's only one way back to the life he once knew as one of an elite society of wizards: return to Melusine and restore the Virtu, the source of the city's power and protection. After all, it was the manipulations of Felix's former master that destroyed the magical orb. Now that Felix has determined his course of action, there's a very specific companion he needs for this epic journey.

Only Mildmay isn't so keen on Felix's plan. Not only is the assassin and thief grieving his dead lover, he's suffering the ill effects of a curse. Besides, Mildmay isn't so sure a return to Melusine is in Felix's best interests. But there's no persuading Felix otherwise, which means Mildmay is compelled to join forces once more with the mercurial wizard with whom he shares a bond unlike any other.

But neither man expects the evil they encounter when they enter Melusine once more. For Malkar Gennadion, the dark wizard and sadistic master Felix believes himself free of, lies in wait . . .

Contains mature themes.

A unique story with such delicious symbology throughout. Everything is a labyrinth, from sanity to emotions to their breakfast and as always Felix is hopelessly lost and Mildmay walks like he was born with a clue to his fingertip.

The narrator is regretful and inconsistent which is a shame but even so, I can’t rate this lower than five. Can’t wait for book three to be read!

Superb story
