Description

REBEL NO MORE

Alex Verus is a mage who can see the future, but even he couldn't have seen this day coming. Alex has agreed to join the Keepers, the magical police force, to protect his friends from his old master, the Dark Mage Richard Drakh.

Going legit was always going to be difficult for an outcast like Alex, and there are those in the Keepers who aren't keen to see an ex-Dark mage succeed. Especially when Dark mages are making a play for a seat on the council, for the first time in history.

Alex finally has the law on his side - but trapped between Light and Dark politics, investigating a seedy underworld with ties to the highest of powers, will a badge be enough to save him

Reviews

Fated is an excellent novel, a gorgeously realised world with a uniquely powerful, vulnerable protagonist. Books this good remind me why I got into the storytelling business in the first place - Jim Butcher on FATED

Jacka puts other urban fantasists to shame . . . A stellar blend of thoughtful philosophy and explosive action

Fated is an excellent example of not just great urban fantasy but also of brilliant storytelling - FANTASY FACTION on FATED

Author Bio
