Publisher's Summary

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.

Excellent story

Still don't like Gildart Jackson's performance all that much when compared to other narrators, but the story in this one was excellent. So, still 5 stars.

Taking the lead

Alex is stepping up in the last book and now he is owning his fate - good to see. What is worth living and dying for? He asks himself these questions as he works out the future he wants. It's great to se our hero take the lead. Good book

Long Awaited,,,

I couldn't wait to get my hands on this book. I have loved the Alex Verus series. Trouble was i felt this book was simply more of the same. There was no real development of characters that I had seen in the pervious books.

Gildart Jackson narration was as always absolutely perfect,
