Matthew Swift is a London sorcerer who died and came back. When he returned to life two years after his murder, he found that he was not entirely alone in his own body. The blue electric angels, strange beings born from the telephone lines, had taken up residence alongside his consciousness. This left him more powerful but also less certain of where he ended and they began.
Swift’s magic is drawn from London itself. He pulls power from streetlights, Underground trains, neon signs, and the electrical grid. The city is both his weapon and his home, and the books follow him as he is dragged into increasingly dangerous conflicts within London’s hidden magical world. He is reluctant, often sarcastic, and not always sure he is still fully human.
