About this listen

Alex Verus is a mage who can see the future, but even he couldn't have seen this day coming. Alex has agreed to join the Keepers, the magical police force, to protect his friends from his old master, the Dark mage Richard Drakh.

Going legit was always going to be difficult for an outcast like Alex, and there are those in the Keepers who aren't keen to see an ex-Dark mage succeed. Especially when Dark mages are making a play for a seat on the council for the first time in history.

Alex finally has the law on his side - but trapped between Light and Dark politics, investigating a seedy underworld with ties to the highest of powers, will a badge be enough to save him?

Critic Reviews

" Fated is an excellent novel, a gorgeously realised world with a uniquely powerful, vulnerable protagonist. Books this good remind me why I got into the storytelling business in the first place." (Jim Butcher on Fated)
"Jacka puts other urban fantasists to shame.... A stellar blend of thoughtful philosophy and explosive action." ( Publishers Weekly on Chosen)
"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)

Most relevant
Alex has been independent but is now with the Keepers, the Light Council’s police force. He is still mistrusted and on his own even though he is part of a team. Doesn't matter what he does, no one seems to want to help him but his friends. As I read each book in the series I have to be reminded who everyone is - this would be helpful if I had long breaks or was coming into the series new, but it is tiring for a veteran. Still good storytelling.
