Time of Trial
After narrowly escaping the worst fate imaginable, Aubrey realizes there's only one thing left to do—he must confront his nemesis, on his own evil ground
It may look like a simple wire device, but the Beccaria Cage could be the cure for Aubrey's condition: a way to reunite his body and soul. But can Aubrey solve its mysteries while Dr. Tremaine's warmongering machinations gather pace? After magical confrontations, near-death experiences, and the appearance of new allies and new enemies, Aubrey decides that there is only one thing to do: carry the fight to the enemy. Thanks to a fortuitously timed symposium, Aubrey, George, and Caroline accompany Lady Rose and Prince Albert to Holmland - into the heart of hostile territory - only to find the city of Fisherberg infested with ghosts, brigands, and shadowy figures with agendas of their own. While trying to prevent a war, could Aubrey Fitzwilliam inadvertently trigger one?

Aubrey Fitzwilliam is the son of a prominent ex-prime minister, but that's not the worst problem he has to deal with: due to a science experiment gone wrong, he hovers on the edge of life and death. A magical genius, he uses a combination of his magical skills, together with physical and mental abilities, to prevent death from claiming him.
A solution to this vexing problem isn't the only mystery Aubrey tries to solve; he's forever looking for trouble - and finds it in spades! He and his loyal friend, George, become embroiled in sinister plots, schemes within schemes, magical upheavals, and a world on the brink of war...all the time trying to find a way to reunite Aubrey's body and soul.
For Aubrey Fitzwilliam, life is never straightforward.
