Synopsis

Alex Verus faces his dark side in this return to the bestselling urban fantasy series about a London-based mage.

To protect his friends, Mage Alex Verus has had to change—and embrace his dark side. But the life mage Anne has changed too, and made a bond with a dangerous power. She's going after everyone she's got a grudge against—and it's a long list.

In the meantime, Alex has to deal with his arch-enemy, Levistus. The Council's death squads are hunting Alex as well as Anne, and the only way for Alex to stop them is to end his long war with Levistus and the Council, by whatever means necessary. It will take everything Alex has to stay a step ahead of the Council and stop Anne from letting the world burn.

Goodreads review by Trish on November 11, 2022

The penultimate book in the series and holy shit, this was intense! Alex has the Fate-Weaver and he's gotten insanely good with it. I looooved seeing his power level here and the magic itself. He's still trying to find Anne - now free but with dark-Anne in control (IF Alex is right) and still in serv......more

Goodreads review by Josh on November 29, 2020

As the penultimate volume in this excellent and long-running series, I'm awfully happy with this entry. Forged has all of the things that made the earlier books so engaging: the moral and ethical complexities, the fantastic examples of magical power, and the continual evolution of who Alex Verus is a......more
