Burned by Benedict Jacka

Mage Alex Verus is back in the seventh in the "gorgeously realized"* urban fantasy series from the national bestselling author of Veiled.
 
I'm used to people wanting me dead. But, this time, I'm not the only one on the hit list--and time is running out...
 
Diviner Alex Verus finally made one too many enemies on the Council of Mages, and now one of them is angry enough to have him executed. Fighting for his life is nothing new, but this kill order also calls for the death of Alex's dependents--and there's no way that he'll let Luna, Anne, and Vari take the heat.
 
With only a week before he's history, Alex will have to figure out how to disassociate himself from his friends, scrounge up allies on the Council, and hopefully keep his head attached to his body.
 
But saving himself is going to bring him into direct opposition with his former master and the Dark mages surrounding him. And, this time, escaping with his life might mean losing his soul...

The Alex Verus and Ninja series are both written by Benedict Jacka. He graduated from Cambridge University with a degree in philosophy and has worked as a civil servant, bouncer, and teacher. He is based in London.
