In this thrilling conclusion to The Last Binding trilogy, Jack Alston, Lord Hawthorn, has turned away from magic after the tragic loss of his brother. But when a powerful magical conspiracy threatens to reshape the future of Britain, Jack is pulled back into the fight.

He joins forces with Alan Ross, a rebellious, sharp-tongued thief and non-magical “perturbator” — someone with the rare talent to unravel magical spells. Though their personalities clash and their social classes divide them, the two are forced into a reluctant partnership as they seek the final piece of the Last Contract — an ancient magical pact that could grant terrifying power to those who control it.

As danger closes in and Jack and Alan’s antagonism turns into a fiery romance, they must decide whether they’re willing to risk their hearts — and their lives — for each other, and for a future where magic is free and fair.
