Bound

Alex Verus is still haunted by his apprenticeship to the Dark mage Richard Drakh. He has been free of him for years, but now the only way to keep his friends from being harmed is to work for Richard and his deadly ally again.

Worse, he is forced to bring the Light mage Anne into this servitude as well. After weeks of being hunted and finally cornered in what he believed was his last stand, Alex never expected his life to be spared, and never anticipated the price. This time, the diviner can see no way out.

Bound is the eighth novel in Benedict Jacka's London-based urban fantasy series about Alex Verus, a mage who can see possible futures.
