Alex Verus faces his dark side in this return to the bestselling urban fantasy series about a London-based mage.

To protect his friends, Mage Alex Verus has had to change - and embrace his dark side. But the life mage Anne has also changed, forming a bond with a dangerous power. She's pursuing everyone she's got a grudge against - and it’s a long list.

In the meantime, Alex must contend with his arch-enemy, Levistus. The Council's death squads are hunting both Alex and Anne, and the only way for Alex to stop them is to end his long war with Levistus and the Council, by whatever means necessary. It will take everything Alex has to stay a step ahead of the Council and prevent Anne from letting the world burn.
