About the Author
Benedict Jacka became a writer almost by accident, when at 19 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.
Back Cover
Alex Verus is having an unusually peaceful summer. Things used to be different. Back when Alex was a Dark mage's apprentice, he did what he had to do to survive, though he isn't proud of the memories. Still, he's made a new life and new friends since then, and he's put the old days behind him. Or has he? When someone from his past comes looking for revenge, Alex must face his demons - and decide how far he will go to protect his future. 'Whoop-ass excitement from the new master of magical London' Charles Stross
