Publisher Description
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.

I am an avid Urban Fantasy reader and thoroughly enjoyed Alex Verus series, but in the beginning it felt like it was trying to be a British Harry Dresden.
The Inheritance of Magic quickly became my favorite book. The world has been carefully conceived, the rules of magic are intriguing, and the main character is relatable. I am excited for the next book because the overarching plot has only just been hinted at, leaving me wanting more.
