Immortal birthdays are the worst. Especially when your son gifts you a Voldemort meme in a party hat and calls it love.

Meet Blake—aka Mortimer, aka the King of the Reapers, aka the guy who’s been 25 for a thousand years and still can’t catch a break. It’s his 1023rd birthday, and all he wants is peace, paperwork, and Coldplay. Instead, he gets undead family drama, time travel trauma, and coworkers who think he’s ancient Rome’s last surviving citizen.

Between dodging zombie granddads, managing his own soul (who moonlights as a psychotic reaper), and surviving the world's most passive-aggressive birthday celebration, Blake proves that immortality is just eternal middle management.

🪦 Tune in for magical dysfunction, dry sarcasm, and the kind of existential comedy that only comes with being older than dirt but still stuck in the office

Tempus, the Timekeeper, receives a gift from his niece: a crystal ball that reveals visions but lacks sound.

When death is only a setback, kidnappers need a better plan.

In the shadowy hours before dawn, a baby with a universe‑shaping future is snatched from his pram — and his immortal family will cross planets, time, and the veil itself to get him back. But in a world where emperors can resurrect, brothers bicker over duck‑feeding, and even reapers wear nappies, nothing is as simple as ransom and revenge.

Rachel Lawson’s Gothic Magicians universe returns in a darkly funny, high‑stakes tale of cosmic politics, family chaos, and the thin line between life and the afterlife.

Some families bond over coffee. The Alexanders bond over surviving armed robberies, concealing supernatural powers, and accidentally revealing they’re royalty from other dimensions.

When their favourite café faces closure after repeated robberies, Lance, Blake (aka Fred, Emperor of the Universe), and Morganite (Prime Minister of the Universe) volunteer behind the counter. But when the next stick‑up turns into a hostage crisis, the Magicians must juggle lattes, loaded weapons, and the risk of unleashing the Angel of Death.

• Red Fox, their magically gifted police sergeant uncle, racing the clock

• Bullets, banter, and barista work gone wrong

• A showdown where knives fly faster than the espresso shots
