Synopsis

Diviner Alex Verus finally made one too many enemies on the Council of Mages, and now one of them is angry enough to have him executed. Fighting for his life is nothing new, but this kill order also calls for the death of Alex's dependents—and there's no way that he'll let Luna, Anne, and Vari take the heat.

With only a week before he's history, Alex will have to figure out how to disassociate himself from his friends, scrounge up allies on the Council, and hopefully keep his head attached to his body. But saving himself is going to bring him into direct opposition with his former master and the Dark mages surrounding him. And, this time, escaping with his life might mean losing his soul . . .

Goodreads review by Robin on August 22, 2019

You know the book that everything goes wrong for the hero and they end up in an awful position that looks like they will never be able to find a way out of. Yeah, this is that book for Alex. One of his worst fears is about to become a reality. Alex has been picking up enemies left and right. He has a......more

Goodreads review by Benghis on June 16, 2024

This series is cooking with gas now. The stakes have been steadily rising over the past few books until things have finally boiled over and reached a tipping point. I'm all in on the story and gripped as can be right now, and think I need to read the next one immediately to continue the first real b......more
