The Fairies strike back!

Merlin is dying, cut down by Glee the Goblin's bullets. And Nigel's control over his powers is still insufficient to save him with a wish. One solution left: a vial of dragon blood, the only artefact that can revive the enchanter. The problem is that the vial is at MI-10 headquarters, part of its commander George Cross' private collection. It's time for the last of the Genies to go on the offensive ...

Urban fantasy: magic and weirdness creeping in at the edges of a world in which magic is not the norm. Take the tube in London and meet a troll; listen to the man next to you order coffee-and-ambrosia ... A genre popularised by such acclaimed series as The Hollows by Kim Harrison or The Dresden Files by Jim Butcher.

'Sébastien Latour's writing gives readers a fast-paced and twisty plot that takes both Nigel and the reader to unexpected places [...] On the art side Giulio De Vita's work is lovely to look at - detailed, dynamic and slightly stylised to emphasise the otherworldliness of the many supernatural creatures that he is portraying without losing the reality of the London setting' [Jeremy Briggs, Down The Tubes]
