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. 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 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 to save his own skin?

About the Author

Benedict Jacka became a writer almost by accident, when at nineteen he sat in his school library and began writing in the back of an exercise book. Since then he has worked for the civil service, studied philosophy at Cambridge and been a bouncer, but has always found the time to keep writing.
