Taken

An Alex Verus Novel

By: Benedict Jacka

Narrated by: Gildart Jackson

Welcome to Fountain Reach. Ancient seat of the Aubuchon dynasty. Majestic setting of the White Stone tournament.

Alex Verus' (not necessarily reliable) reputation attracts all sorts. Most are plain bonkers. Yet there's one invitation he just can't refuse.

At Fountain Reach, Alex is perfectly placed among the noted and notorious to figure out why apprentices have been vanishing. But the tournament is a minefield of ancient grudges and new threats, and Alex can't afford to miss a trick as his elusive adversary stays one step ahead in this most dangerous of games.

Next gear

Now the cast expands. We meet new people and things deepen. A great installment in an ever widening and deepening narrative. Again, if you love Harry Dresden... why haven't you started on this yet?

entertaining

better than the second book, actually, I think it is the best in the series so far
