Mage Alex Verus is caught between a rock and a hard place in the eighth urban fantasy novel from the national bestselling author of Burned.
Right now I wasn’t seeing Richard as the teacher out of my nightmares; he was just another Dark mage, and I looked into the future to see what would happen if I turned that knife on him instead…
Alex Verus is still haunted by his time apprenticed to Richard Drakh. He’s been free of him for many years, but now the only way to keep his friends from being harmed is to again work for Richard and his deadly ally. Even worse, Alex is forced to bring the life mage Anne into this servitude as well.
After weeks of being hunted and finally cornered into what he thought was his last stand, Alex never imagined his life would be spared—and never anticipated at what price. This time, the diviner can see no way out…

I just did a full re-read of the series before reading this one and damn! Mr. Jacka really knows how to set up a story, everything is connected and everything matters, sometimes he makes us feel just as lost as Alex and than we realized something together with Alex. It's really like being part of what is happening. This was one of my favorites of the series, a lot of answers a whole lot of more questions!
