Alex Verus has a magic shop in Camden, London, and an uncanny ability to see the future. But suddenly everyone can see his future. Because the Mage’s Council of Great Britain has 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 also be marked for death when the ruling comes into play, and very quickly Alex becomes locked in a race against time to save them. Perhaps he might even remember to save himself. Praise for this series: ‚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 ‚Whoop-ass excitement from the new master of magical London‘ Charles Stross ‚A deft, thrill-ride of an urban fantasy – a stay-up-all-night read‘ Patricia Briggs
