Classy urban fantasy set in (mostly) London with central character Alex Verus, a diviner with a very specific magical talent. He's not as powerful as a war mage, so he has to be clever. He's embroiled in politics now, a member of the Light Council, though most light mages think he's batting for the other side since he was trained by a powerful Dark Mage, Richard Drakh, who is currently waging war on the council. Trapped between the Council, who want to investigate him, and Richard, Alex will need a new strategy if he's to stay alive and protect his friends and his lover, Anne. Alex has to make some hard decisions. The trouble is, he doesn't really like either side. I grab these books as soon as they are published. Excellent stuff.
