Wie lange wird das Bündnis zwischen Schwarz- und Weißmagiern halten? Das spektakuläre Finale der Alex-Verus-Serie. Vor langer Zeit führten Magier und Djinn Krieg. Letztere unterlagen und wurden von den Siegern in einfache Gegenstände wie Lampen oder Ringe eingekerkert. Doch sie sinnen seitdem auf Rache. Nun ist es einem Djinn-Fürsten gelungen, eine Magierin in Besitz zu nehmen. Schwarz- und Weißmagier müssen sich eiligst verbünden. Doch Hellseher Alex Verus ahnt, dass dieser Pakt nicht lange halten wird. Buchstäblich jeder hat seine eigenen Ziele – auch Alex.

Magie verpflichtet! Der Auftakt der neuen Urban-Fantasy-Serie von SPIEGEL-Bestsellerautor Benedict Jacka. Stephen Oakwood hat ein natürliches Talent für Magie. Doch die Materialien dafür sind teuer, und er stammt aus einfachen Verhältnissen. Zudem hat Stephen keine weiteren Verwandten – glaubt er zumindest, bis seine Cousine auftaucht. Plötzlich ist er verstrickt in die Angelegenheiten von Haus Ashford, einer der mächtigsten Magierfamilien Englands. Stephen will eigentlich nichts mit seiner adeligen Verwandtschaft zu tun haben, doch die zieht ihn immer tiefer in ihre Intrigen hinein. Also muss er selbst Macht und Vermögen aufbauen – und seine magischen Fähigkeiten so schnell es geht verbessern.

Stephen Oakwood has emerged victorious against the schemes of his aristocratic family. Now he finally has the opportunity to do what he’s been wanting to do for a long time: track down his father. But doing so won’t be easy. Stephen’s not so isolated any more, but the contacts he’s making in the magical world—everyone from the corporation he works for to the mother he’s just beginning to reconnect with—all have agendas of their own. And now a new group is emerging from the shadows, calling themselves the Winged.

From the author of the million-copy-selling Alex Verus series comes a fantasy series of super rich magical dynasties and warring heirs.

Selbst wenn er nicht in die Zukunft blicken könnte, wäre Alex klar, dass es nur eine Chance auf Frieden für ihn gibt: Der Gejagte muss zum Jäger werden – und Levistus muss sterben!

Richard Drakh, the sadistic dark mage Alex escaped as an apprentice, has him in his clutches again. And this time he won't let go so easily.

In a sudden and cruel pincer movement of fate, Alex finds himself fighting a sinister and powerful gang as well as his own demons - for the same crime. Held hostage by the choices of his past, Alex's future is now in jeopardy....

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.

Camden, North London. A tangled, mangled junction of train lines, roads and waterways. Where minor celebrities hang out with minor criminals and where tourists and moody teenagers mingle. In the heart of Camden, where rail meets road meets leyline, you might find the Arcana Emporium, run by one Alex Verus. He won't sell you a wand or mix you a potion, but if you know what you're looking for, he might just be able to help.

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.

Especially when Dark mages are making a play for a seat on the council for the first time in history.

Welcome to Fountain Reach. Ancient seat of the Aubuchon dynasty. Majestic setting of the White Stone tournament. Alex Verus' (not necessarily reliable) reputation attracts all sorts.

They can be detached or pleasant one moment, and defiant the next. They won't let up until they wear you down. In their minds, it’s all about them. We are all potential targets for a dark psychological attacker. We are all susceptible to the power of hidden manipulation...now more than ever. Suggestive images, trickery, and mind games bombard us every day.

Are you struggling to get a handle on your emotions or find it difficult to read the emotional state of people you interact with every day and lack social calibration? Keeping a clear head and thinking straight during intense emotional moments is not something many people can do. For decades, it had been assumed, falsely, that a higher IQ correlates to a greater probability of personal or professional success. But paper after countless papers - and more importantly, the real world - have proven time and time again that this isn't the case.

In a world where everything magical is bought up and controlled by the super rich - Stephen Oakwood has inherited a natural talent for magic. Plunged by his father's disappearance into a glittering world of scheming dynasties, warring patriarchs and vicious scions, Stephen must navigate magical high society and learn to control his gifts. Dangerous enemies await the Oakwood heir, and even more dangerous allies: if Stephen cannot master his magic quickly and learn to distinguish friend from foe, his name may end up on the missing persons list, just like his father.
