Three years have passed since the magician Nathaniel helped prevent a cataclysmic attack on London. <\/p>\n
Now an important member of the British government, he grapples with numerous problems: foreign wars are going badly, Britain\u2019s enemies are mounting attacks close to London, and rebellion is growing among the commoners.
