England's deadliest secrets are at risk. So is the man Lily is about to marry.
As World War I rages across Europe, a military officer is brutally murdered in a remote English country house. Lord Strangford is the only suspect.
To clear his name, Lily must unravel the bizarre secrets that surround the corpse. It's a quest that takes her from the besieged Yorkshire coast to the heart of the empire as a brilliant and relentless police inspector haunts her every move.
But the dead man isn't who he seemed to be. The search for truth—and the real killer—plunges Lily into a game of secrets tied to the highest echelons of the government. To expose the heart of it, she must pull together friends scattered by loss and conflict, pushing the limits of an occult power she's far from understanding.
The fate of the war might just hang in the balance... along with the life of the man Lily loves.
Bridge of Ash is the thrilling continuation of The London Charismatics historical fantasy series. Buy it now and slip back to an Edwardian England rife with supernatural mystery and gothic suspense.

Great, haunting series
This is the 4th book in the London charismatics - in which characters possessed of inconvenient (at best, and tormenting at worst) magics in a largely mundane world are trying to use their powers for good as the UK enters WWI. Beautifully written and excellent pacing.
Another fantastic read in this series
Another great read with wonderful characters that have come to almost feel like friends. It was also very nice to get to know some of the series’ more peripheral characters in this book. The plot was as tightly paced as usual and the depth of feeling as deep and moving as always. While I personally found at least some foreshadowing much more obvious in this book than the previous books in this series, that didn’t take any of my enjoyment away.
