English Summary/英文概要： Things are going well for Alex Verus. He’s on moderately good terms with the Council, his apprentice is settling in and his shop in Camden is gaining quite a reputation. But when a mysterious woman bursts into the Arcana Emporium one night with an assassin on her tail, Alex is thrown into a plot to revive a long-forbidden ritual. His old enemies are after the secret, as well as a Council mage named Belthas and a mercenary named Garrick, and at least one of them is trying to get Alex killed - if he only knew which. He can see the future, but knowing who to trust is something else.

’Puts other urban fantasies to shame...a stellar blend of thoughtful philosophy and explosive action’Publisher’s Weekly

*starred* review

A compelling urban fantasy series featuring Alex Verus, the Camden-based mage who just can’t stay out of trouble despite his ability to see the future. Perfect for fans of Jim Butcher and Ben Aaronovitch.

About the Author/作者介绍： Benedict Jacka 在机缘巧合之下成为了一名作家，当他19岁坐在学校图书馆内，开始在练习本的后面酝酿着自己的第一个故事。从那以后，他定居于中国，在剑桥研习哲学，在回到伦敦从事法律事务之前，他曾一度干过公务员和教师等职务。

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.
