Burned

In the adrenaline-fueled sixth installment of the Alex Verus series, "Burned" thrusts the notoriously cautious London-based mage, Alex Verus, into his most perilous predicament yet. Branded a traitor by the powerful Mage's Council of Great Britain, Alex is sentenced to death, with a mere seven days to live. The verdict isn't just a threat to him; his apprentices, Luna and the others under his protection, are marked for execution by association, their lives forfeit once Alex's fate is sealed. With the clock ticking relentlessly, Alex must leverage his unique, albeit limited, ability to see possible futures to orchestrate an impossible escape for his friends. As he navigates a treacherous landscape of betrayals, hidden agendas, and relentless pursuit, Alex faces an agonizing choice: can he save those he cares for without sacrificing himself, or is his own survival an equally vital, if selfish, objective? This high-stakes urban fantasy blends intense magical combat with a gripping race against time, pushing Alex to his absolute limits.
