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.

Going legit was always going to be difficult for an outcast like Alex, and there are those in the Keepers who aren't keen to see an ex-Dark mage succeed. Especially when Dark mages are making a play for a seat on the council for the first time in history.

Alex finally has the law on his side - but trapped between Light and Dark politics, investigating a seedy underworld with ties to the highest of powers, will a badge be enough to save him?

Critics' reviews

" Fated is an excellent novel, a gorgeously realised world with a uniquely powerful, vulnerable protagonist. Books this good remind me why I got into the storytelling business in the first place." (Jim Butcher on Fated)
"Jacka puts other urban fantasists to shame.... A stellar blend of thoughtful philosophy and explosive action." ( Publishers Weekly on Chosen)
"Harry Dresden would like Alex Verus tremendously - and be a little nervous around him. I just added Benedict Jacka to my must-read list." (Jim Butcher, author of the Dresden Files)

Super Story, super Sprecher, aus meiner Sicht einer der besten Sprecher für non-native speakers, furios, spannend, mitreissend.

Eine im doppelten Wortsinn fantastische Geschichte

I really don’t like being shouted at by the speaker. Parts of the book are far to aggressive in tone.

Why does the speaker have to be so loud and aggressive

Die Fans von Alex Virus wissen es schon: Magie und Magier sind gefährlich. Politik ist es auch und wie unser Held in diesem, seinen sechste Abenteuer erfährt: wenn beide zusammenkommen wird es tödlich gefährlich!

Um Unterstützung gegen seine alten Feinde auf der dunklen Seite zu bekommen, versucht Alex bei den Keepern - der quasi-Polizei des Magic Councils - unterzukommen. Aber die Politik und Zusammensetzung des Councils sind in Bewegung und das bedeutet Ärger für Alex.

Wieder eine extrem spannende, brilliant erzählte Geschichte, die aber nur für Kenner der Serie geeignet ist. Neueinsteiger sei der Beginn, oder besser noch Teil 2 oder 3 empfohlen.

Brilliant, aber nicht für Neueinsteiger
