Rachel Lawson's The Magicians Podcast

Fred Alexander, famed stage magician and universe-ruler, finally surrenders to despair—only to find that true death has other plans. When his ghostly self awakens beside his drowned body, Fred discovers his “suicide” has unleashed anarchy across the stars: rival heirs rise, wars erupt, and reality itself teeters on the brink. With the reluctant aid of his son Tempus, the all-seeing Timekeeper, Fred must unmask the poison behind his demise and rewrite history before the empire collapses. Racing against destiny—and his younger self in the past—Fred confronts betrayal, addiction, and the ultimate illusion: that death is the end. In a world where ghosts walk beside the living and time is a fragile weapon, can the man who couldn’t die save the future he’s lost? Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Fred Alexander is kidnapped by a man who wants him dead, and he takes Fred to a place he doesn't know to kill him, but he won't stay dead; no matter how many times he kills him, he keeps coming back to life. Fred Alexander woke up cold, naked, and afraid in a dark cupboard one day after he'd been to the pub. He thought he must have been really drunk to be like this, and wondered if he'd done something stupid. Fred, being an enchanter, tried to leave with magic without opening the door; being naked, it would look a little odd to just stroll outside. Realising someone had cast an entrapment spell on it. It wasn't one of his kind the magicians it was more likely a human, it was clumsy but effective. Fred realised it was a trap and he couldn't escape. Fred saw blood on the floor, his blood. He was confused and scared. Not a kid's book, obviously Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
