Publisher's Summary

London, 1914. Lily's visions could stop a killer...if she'll trust a reclusive aristocrat with her darkest secret.

A monster stalks the gaslit streets of Edwardian London, draining the blood of the city's mediums. Lily Albright knows who's next.

Lily is plagued by visions of the future she can never change. When a mysterious fiend threatens someone she loves, she's determined this time will be different.

But she can't do it alone. To save a life, Lily must reveal her darkest secrets to someone she has little reason to trust—the reclusive Lord Strangford, a man haunted by his own unusual powers.

From the glittering galleries of Bond Street to the rookeries of Southwark, Lily and Strangford plunge into a dark conspiracy that lies at the heart of England's rising eugenics movement.

To thwart it, Lily must face a past rife with betrayal—and embrace the power she has spent her entire life trying to escape.

First in a gripping historical fantasy series narrated by 20-year acting veteran Alex Picard.

Best Narrator I've ever listened to

Not only was the story itself fantastic, I can't even put into words how good this narrator is. Her ability to present subtle differences in accents from the same country but different regions is an incredible skill, and even when doing male voices I sometimes forget it's still her and not an actual male voice. Aside from all of that she tells the story with all the right emphasis in all the right places.
The storyline itself is also incredible. The author does an amazing job creating complex characters, each with their own detailed personality. I've never been one for 20th Century era novels, but she her story was so good that I didn't even notice.
