Alex Verus must keep his friends close--and his enemies closer--in the epic conclusion to the bestselling urban fantasy series about a London-based mage. Mage Alex Verus has gone from a Camden shopkeeper to one of the most powerful mages in Britain. Now his last and most dangerous battle lies before him. His lover, the life mage Anne, has fallen fully under the control of the deadly creature she made a bargain with, and it is preparing to create an army of mages subject to its every whim. Alex, the Council, and the Dark mage Richard Drakh agree to call a truce in their war, and plans are made for a joint attack. But Alex knows that it's only a matter of time before Drakh and the Council turn on each other . . . and neither cares about keeping Anne alive. Can Alex figure out a way to stop Anne and to free her from possession before time runs out?

A little bittersweet as it's Alex's last adventure but I feel satisfied with the conclusion. Normally I'm not a fan of long drawn out battle scenes and this book is essentially one long battle but it kind of worked?

HeyT Ooooh your Alex Verus covers are so pretty. I just have the mass market paperbacks. (I'm eternally grateful they didn't change designs halfway through tbh) (edited) 3y

The 12th and final book in the ALEX VERUS SERIES packs in a lot of action, ties up loose ends, and sees some long-standing characters die (sob) and while I had some nitpicks about the closure re Richard and Anne and Alex‘s relationship never convinced me, the book finishes on a bittersweet note that‘s a fitting end to one of my favourite fantasy series and leaves open the possibility for Jacka to revisit this world should he want.
