Fated

In the bustling, magically-charged heart of Camden, North London, resides Alex Verus, an enigmatic mage who runs a modest magic shop. Unlike the typical wand-wielder, Alex possesses a rare and dangerous talent: he can see the future, a precognitive ability that offers glimpses of myriad possibilities. However, this power comes with a dark past and attracts unwelcome attention from both the Light and Dark mages who vie for control in the magical underworld. When a mysterious relic surfaces at the British Museum, Alex finds himself reluctantly drawn into a complex web of intrigue, ancient artifacts, and dangerous magical politics. He must navigate treacherous alliances, outwit powerful enemies, and contend with a persistent would-be apprentice, all while trying to keep his own secrets buried. 'Fated' introduces readers to a morally grey protagonist in a richly detailed urban fantasy world where magic lurks just beneath the surface of everyday life, blending thrilling action with thoughtful exploration of choice and consequence.
