Synopsis
Hidden is the fifth novel in the Alex Verus series, continuing directly from the events of the previous book as Alex tries to hold his small found family together in London. His friend Anne, a life mage, has begun pulling away from him since learning the details of his apprenticeship under a Dark mage, and Alex cannot tell whether her coldness is personal disapproval or a sign that she is hiding something of her own. When Anne is drawn into serious trouble and refuses his help, Alex has to investigate on his own to understand what she is concealing and how much danger she is actually in.
