What to expect

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?

Critics Review

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

Jacka writes a deft thrill-ride of an urban fantasy – a stay-up-all-night read. Alex Verus is a very smart man surviving in a very dangerous world

Patricia Briggs

London’s hidden wizardly community spell-blast each other entertainingly in this urban fantasy romp. Fated is highly enjoyable

Sun

Filled with tense and compelling writing

SFX

Whoop-ass excitment from the new master of magical London

Charles Stross
