Hour of Need
In the final book of the Laws of Magic series, Aubrey goes deep into the lair of his enemy in an attempt to save the world.
Aubrey Fitzwilliam, renegade and traitor. Instead of clearing his name in Albion, Aubrey has chosen to pursue his enemy, Dr. Mordecai Tremaine, deep into the heart of enemy territory. What he uncovers in Dr. Tremaine's stronghold promises to change the course of the war and the future of humanity itself. A hideous combination of electrical science, golem manufacturing, and soul-shattering magic is bringing the world far closer to the edge of the abyss than anyone apart from Aubrey realizes. Alone, reviled, and hunted, this is Aubrey's last chance to save the world - for if he doesn't there might not be a world left to save.

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.
