Summary

  “A great example of contemporary British fantasy; a gritty page-turner packed with creative twists on criminal magic.” —Phil Williams, author of the Ordshaw series   No magician has ever escaped Coldwater Prison.   But that is exactly where Amanda Coleman, heist artist and Abra-killer, must go. Somewhere in London, a mysterious blackmailer has enough evidence to put Amanda’s head in a noose and ensure her only remaining daughter, Michaela, is right alongside her when it happens. To save Michaela, Amanda must assassinate one of Coldwater’s most infamous residents. But the only way in is as an inmate. But a notorious Abra-killer like Amanda can expect a few old enemies in a prison full of mages, and they have their own plans . . . A fast-paced thriller filled with magic and suspense, perfect for fans of Lauren Beukes and James Oswald. “Starts off with a bang and ends up being a thrilling ride . . . Williams does a fantastic job setting the London and prison scenes with action-packed, suspenseful atmosphere . . . Supernatural mixed with Jessica Jones.” —Cemetery Dance publications “Strange Ways is a thrilling ride into a world full of dangerous magic that feels all too real. Williams is truly a master of storytelling’s darkest arts.” —Mike Shackle, author of We Are the Dead “Different and cunning, fast-paced and thrilling, a hugely entertaining story from start to finish.” —Edward Cox, author of the Relic Guild trilogy “Tense, oppressive and spectacular, a gritty and inventive tale of blood-soaked magic and razor-edged characters to root for.” —David Wragg, author of The Black Hawks “A brilliantly weaved redemption story with magic that will blow your mind.” —Mark Stay, author of The End of Magic

    Finding the next piece of the missing artifact, the Phoenix, is paramount for Jet Black and his friends as they try to prevent a future war. But there is growing pressure from the other boarding schools, the Brotherhood, and even the Runics to discover the other missing magical books. The first visit to Dillon Lake has all the promises of discovering new alliances and uncovering the backstory of some of the most important players. The fallout from their trip is life-altering for some of the Echoes and even the Elementals. Shane Fallon plays both sides of the fence as he tries to gain the upper hand. 
Just when things start to come together, the Elementals are separated, and Jet is forced to make the hard decisions. It becomes clear that not everyone is happy with his selections. The Elementals find chaos and destruction at every junction, as jealousy and greed become the driving forces behind some of their roadblocks. 
Jet and a few friends travel to new locations to master old foes, repair evil intentions, and recover what was once lost. As bleak as things may seem at times, their bonding relationships, evolving abilities, and resolute determination push the group forward. Shane Fallon strives to deceive, disrupt, and destroy the Elementals at every turn. 
No longer are magical capabilities limited to a few students, but wickedness is waiting and amassing in the shadows to ensure war takes place and Arisol, the demon prince, is released, stronger than ever.
