Alex Verus must keep his friends close - and his enemies closer - in the epic conclusion to the best-selling urban fantasy series about a London-based mage.
Mage Alex Verus has gone from a Camden shopkeeper to one of the most powerful mages in Britain. Now his last and most dangerous battle lies before him. His lover, the life mage Anne, has fallen fully under the control of the deadly creature she made a bargain with, and it is preparing to create an army of mages subject to its every whim.
Alex, the Council, and the Dark mage Richard Drakh agree to call a truce in their war, and plans are made for a joint attack. But Alex knows that it's only a matter of time before Drakh and the Council turn on each other...and neither cares about keeping Anne alive. Can Alex figure out a way to stop Anne and to free her from possession before time runs out?

If you have followed Alex Verus all this way, then don't hesitate a moment more, and dive back in. This was a good send off for not just Alex, but all the characters we've grown to love and enjoy.
Thank you Mr. Jacka for letting us into this glorious world. And thank you Mr. Jackson for lending your talented voice and character throughout all of these books.
I trust you all will enjoy "Risen" as much as I did. Happy listening!
A fine end to a glorious series

In many ways, the Alex Verus series can be seen as a series of trilogies. The final trilogy is made of up of Fallen, Forged and Risen. In Fallen, Alex had a tough decision to make when he realized trying to be a "nice guy" wasn't really working. So, he took his first steps down a darker path in order to save the woman he loves. In Forged, we see the consequences of that choice and the stakes at the end of Forged couldn't be higher. In Risen, Alex reaches a truce with the Council and his old teacher, the Dark mage, Richard Drakh, in order to defeat the dark creature possessing his lover. But Richard and the Council have no interest in saving Anne. To defeat the creature and save his lover, Alex needs to embrace his inner Dark mage. He'll also need to be at the top of his game, but the clock is ticking. Will he able to save her before his clock runs out?
The resolution of Alex's quest in Risen is at times heartbreaking, but it was a wild ride that was well worth taking. The final scenes are exciting and very emotional (there might have been some tears).
For fans who listen to audiobooks, Gildart Jackson is a fantastic narrator. He really nails the action & emotional scenes, and he's in top form in Risen. I absolutely loved Gildart Jackson's narration of "Risen."
The TLDR is that the audiobook for "Risen" has everything I love about the Alex Verus series: great action, humor, and excitement. As a fan of the Alex Verus series, my anticipation for this book couldn't have been higher and this book did not disappoint.
This book is an absolute must for Verus fans. I give it 5/5 stars (I'd give 10/5 stars if I could).
