The seventh novel in this compelling urban fantasy series featuring Alex Verus, the Camden-based mage who just can't stay out of trouble despite his ability to see the future. Perfect for fans of Jim Butcher or Ben Aaronovitch

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
