The British Bureau for the Arcane has kept people safe for centuries from the arcane species that seek to harm human beings. Their range extends to Commonwealth nations that were part of the British Empire. A once-proud part of the British Secret Service, their success in controlling the arcane races has been their downfall. These beings now live on the edge of survival in remote parts of Britain. Or, at least they did.
For Arlo Austin, a loyal but troubled agent for the Bureau, something is wrong. When he’s sent to protect the citizens of the Shetland Isles from rampaging Norwegian trolls, it soon becomes apparent it was an attempt on his life. When another agent dies in mysterious circumstances, and Arlo is warned of an impending war with arcane species, his instincts are proved right.
But who is behind this rebellion? Could it be linked to Arlo’s own bloodline as a Dark Elf? His traumatic childhood holds secrets, ones that are going to test his loyalty to the Bureau. In their cells, another Dark Elf is held prisoner, one who is so despised by its staff, their hatred has extended to Arlo. This species is violent and vengeful, can they recruit one of their own to bring about the destruction of the Bureau? And in so doing, enable the arcane races to wage war against the human race.

    5.0 out of 5 stars I'd been looking for a new fantasy story, I found it here.

    Finding a fantasy series which blends modern society, historical events and fantasy elements is difficult, but you will find it well done here. Pacing, character development and world building were all done well in this book. You get the sense that this world always existed as described, and I had a hard time setting the book down. I can't wait for the next one.

    5.0 out of 5 stars A Men in Black style Fantasy!
    Reviewed in the United Kingdom on September 29, 2024

    The Inside Story of the British Bureau for the Arcane is a fascinating and riveting blend of Fantasy and Spy Thriller. If I could describe it in one sentence it'd be: the Fantasy version of Men in Black.

    Arlo, a grizzled veteran of the Bureau, nearly dies on what should have been an easy mission. After another Bureau member is murdered in horrific fashion, he begins to suspect there's a plot within the Bureau to bring down the institution. Rumours also start flowing that the arcane races are aligning with a mysterious leader in preparation for bringing down humanity. Against all odds, Arlo must make a terrible choice. Does he stand with the humans who despise him? Or should he give into his darker nature and deface the legacy of the man who raised him?

    I really enjoyed this book. The story was exciting and unpredictable. Right up to the end, I had no idea what it was building to and I thoroughly loved it. Fantastic world building and excellent, engaging characters.

    Phil Parker has knocked it out of the park again with this exciting Fantasy read!
