Synopsis
Daniel is an adept who uses his magical talents to make a living as a small-time thief. When he and his friends are hired by a mysterious mage to steal a ring from a cabin in the Romanian woods, it seems like easy money. But all is not as it seems, and Daniel quickly learns that nobody involved in the theft is exactly who they claim to be; as the group turns on one another, he and his friends must discover the truth behind what they have found, before it is too late, because the forest is not empty, and they have disturbed something better left alone. Set four months after the last novel, Risen, it is an extra epilogue to the Alex Verus series, giving an outsider's view of Anne, Talisid and Alex, and closer to horror than the series' usual urban fantasy.
