About this listen
MAGIC. POWER. GREED. The ultra-rich control magic-the same way they control everything else-but Stephen Oakwood may just beat them at their own game in this exhilarating contemporary fantasy from the author of the million-copy-selling Alex Verus novels.
Stephen has emerged victorious against the schemes of his aristocratic family. Now he finally has the opportunity to do what he's been wanting to do for a long time: track down his father.
But doing so won't be easy. Stephen's not so isolated any more, but the contacts he's making in the magical world-everyone from the corporation he works for to the mother he's just beginning to reconnect with-all have agendas of their own. And now a new group is emerging from the shadows, calling themselves the Winged. Their leader, the mysterious Byron, promises that he can show Stephen how to find his father...but he wants something in return.
Following that trail will throw Stephen into greater danger than he's ever faced before. To survive, he'll need to use all of his tricks and sigls, and pick up some new ones. Only then will he be able to prevail against his enemies...and find out who's really pulling the strings.
'Jacka has drawn a potent new world of magic controlled by a privileged few, and Stephen Oakwood is the sigl-wielding rebel we didn't know we needed' New York Times bestselling author Chloe Neill
'Captivating, compelling' SFX

Gripping, enjoyable, a little slower
There felt to me like there was a lot of progression in this story. Was very enjoyable, glad that the next book is almost finished and he’s working on the following book.
Had overall only one issue with the book but I’ll leave it out of the review to avoid spoilers.
4.5/5

Really enjoyable second book in the series
Stephen is a really great underdog protagonist in the story.
The plot was exciting and kept my attention throughout. I’m not happy with how it ended but I am not going to give away any spoilers.

Loved the next instalment (listened in one day) but is definitely a middle section. Looking forward to the next one already!
