À propos de cet audio

The super-rich control everything—including magic—in this thrilling and brilliant, contemporary fantasy from the author of the Alex Verus novels.

The wealthy seem to exist in a different, glittering world from the rest of us. Almost as if by . . . magic.

Stephen Oakwood is a young man on the edge of this hidden world. He has talent and potential, but turning that potential into magical power takes money, opportunity, and training. All Stephen has is a minimum wage job and a cat.

But when a chance encounter with a member of House Ashford gets him noticed by the wrong people, Stephen is thrown in the deep end. For centuries, the vast corporations and aristocratic Houses of the magical world have grown impossibly rich and influential by hoarding their knowledge. To survive, Stephen will have to take his talent and build it up into something greater—for only then can he beat them at their own game.

Ce que les critiques en disent

Praise for An Inheritance of Magic

"One of the most satisfying contemporary fantasies I have read in a long time; cozy and human, with some good fight scenes to boot. . . . an enchanting journey into a world where sorcery may be for sale, but agency is beyond price."—Wall Street Journal

"Benedict Jacka gives us a flawed protagonist but ensures we are always on his side. Stephen Oakwood has many strikes against him: absent father and mother, financial woes, dead-end jobs. But he perseveres in the face of danger and death, and he loves his cat. It's more than enough. Benedict Jacka is one of my must-reads."—#1 New York Times bestselling author Charlaine Harris

"A captivating, compelling story."—SFX Magazine

“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

"A world of magic usually known only to the rich and powerful is put to the test in the page-turning urban fantasy that launches an intriguing new series. . . . there's lots of promise to this eat-the-rich world. Readers will be eager to see where things go next."—Publishers Weekly

"This first entry in Jacka’s (Risen) new urban fantasy series combines a coming-of-age and coming-into-power story with a fresh new take on magic. Stephen is a character at a crossroads, and watching him figure out which way to turn and how to amass enough power to make it happen will power the series. . . . Readers looking for a new take on urban fantasy, those who enjoy coming-of-age or training stories, and anyone who likes watching the rich fall will be delighted."—Library Journal

More praise for Benedict Jacka and his novels

"Benedict Jacka writes a deft thrill ride of an urban fantasy—a stay-up-all-night read."—#1 New York Times bestselling author Patricia Briggs

"Books this good remind me why I got into the storytelling business in the first place."—#1 New York Times bestselling author Jim Butcher

"Fans of Jim Butcher and Ben Aaronovitch absolutely should not miss this deeply intelligent, morally complex, and action-packed series."—Publishers Weekly

"Benedict Jacka is a master storyteller."—Fantasy-Faction

Les plus pertinents

This is good. The characters are compelling and very relatable. No world saving, no chosen one, no fantastical beats (yet), It's a human-sized slow burn, yut, suspenseful, interesting.

Sometimes audiobooks drift into the background but not this one. I was glued to it the whole time, and dreading the end because, well, it would be over, and listening to it was so good. I read all the Alex Verus novels, but this was better.

Reader was fantastic. One of the perfect marriages of voice and story that you stumble across every so often.
