Publisher's Summary

Alex Verus has a magic shop in Camden, London, and an uncanny ability to see the future. But suddenly everyone can see Alex's future. Because the Mage's Council of Great Britain just named him a traitor and ordered his death in seven days' time, and there's no way anyone can get out of that.

Alex's friends - Luna and the other apprentices he's taken in - are tainted by association. They'll be marked for death, too, when the ruling comes into play, and Alex becomes locked in a race against time to save them. But with only seven days to work with, will he have time left over save his own skin?

Critic Reviews

"A deft, thrill-ride of an urban fantasy - a stay-up-all-night read." (Patricia Briggs on Fated)
"Harry Dresden would like Alex Verus tremendously - and be a little nervous around him. I just added Benedict Jacka to my must-read list." (Jim Butcher, author of the Dresden Files)
"Whoop-ass excitement from the new master of magical London." (Charles Stross on Chosen)

consistently engaging

once drawn into Alex Verus's world, and become attached to its characters, engaged by their growth, and Alex's journey, I found the series compelling. it isn't a literary epic, but it is satisfying and intriguing, and Burned fulfilled my expectations well enough that i will be proceeding directly to purchase Bound.

Burned indeed!

Another compelling A Verus story with lots of character development in this one - lots of change for everyone to deal with and not as sweet an ending as usual for our hero and his friends, which really just leaves us wanting more! Good book - great series - onto 'Bound'!
