Publisher's summary

Book one in a fantasy series of super rich magical dynasties and warring heirs - from the author of the million-copy-selling Alex Verus series. For readers of contemporary fantasy who enjoy the methods and magicians of dark academia...

ANYONE CAN USE MAGIC - IF THEY CAN AFFORD THE PRICE...

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.

PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying PDF will be available in your Audible Library along with the audio.

Happily surprised by the reader

After really enjoying the Alex Verus series I was a bit hesitant to start this one. Gildart Jackson did such a good job in bringing the Alex Verus characters to life, I was afraid it couldn't be at the same level. But it is!
Although this book is mostly a way to acquaint the reader with this different version of a magical world, it still is gripping, exciting and fun. I really felt for Stephen, both in his mishaps and in his successes. And I love Hobbes!

exceeded expectations

after finishing the alex verus series I didn't think this new series would be able to hold to the same quality, however I've been thoroughly surprised extremely excited to listen to the rest of the series.
