Narrado por: Gildart Jackson

For Mage Alex Verus, everything is on the line in the 10th urban fantasy novel from the nationally best-selling author of Marked.

Once, Alex Verus was a diviner trying to live quietly under the radar. Now, he's a member of the Light Council who's found success, friends...and love. But it's come with a price - the Council is investigating him, and if they find out the truth, he'll lose everything.

Meanwhile, Alex's old master, Richard Drakh, is waging a war against the Council, and he's preparing a move that will bring Alex and the life mage, Anne, under his control. Caught between Richard and the Council, Alex's time is running out. To protect those he cares for, Alex will have to become something different. Something darker....

Fans of Jim Butcher should devour this series

Great cast of characters, complex levels of plots that overlay and span multiple books, great balance of action, intrigue, world building, etc, and the narrator is fantastic.

This series keeps getting better and better!

I have really enjoyed this series. The character development is outstanding, the stories are new, there are interesting twists and turns along the way, and the narrator is top notch. I really enjoyed the Dresden files by Jim Butcher and the nightside by Simon Green. I am now adding this collection to my top three urban fantasy series favorites. Can’t wait for next book to come out!

Alex makes hard choices

You can tell we're gearing up for the end of the series. Excellent narration as usual.

I enjoyed the subtle difference in Alex's voice

When everything falls apart and things get serious, Alex's voice changes. There is no room for passivity anymore. New Alex is the monster that they all feared, but somehow they still don't understand he is a devil of their own creating.
I loved it.

No more Mr. Nice Alex

…or the one where Alex finally powers up. And when he does, he doesn’t waste any time.
This book begins the final lphase in the series, and whether Alex ultimately wins, loses, or draws: he is going there in style after this one. Of course, there is a lot of pain and some self discovery along the way.
One of the three best books in the series so far.

As usual

This series keeps going and going-in the best possible way. Every book I get I think it won’t be as engaging as the last, but each time I’m wrong. Keep reading folks, jump in, the water is always good.

Great book!!!...

exciting book just like the rest of the series....cant wait for the next book in the series!!!

Alex is the bomb!!

i love this whole series. The execution of the story keeps you hooked for years.

love the change

You have to love the character growth and all the twists. Really like his thought process as he came to grips with what he was up against.

The end makes up for the middle

If this book had ended in the middle, I would have given it 3 stars. I am pretty sick of Verus getting the raw end of everything over and over in this series. The end made up for that because he is finally getting smart.
