Second book in a compelling new urban fantasy series set in Camden, featuring Alex Verus.
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.
