Publisher Description
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 occult 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.
This gothic historical fantasy is perfect for those who love supernatural suspense, gaslamp vibes and slow-burn romance. Series now complete!

Love it
This was so different. I loved it. Sometimes it got a little too wordy but don’t let that deter you.
Twists and turns and complex characters
Utterly surprising at every turn, with excellent storytelling and characters as complex and complicated as in real life. Ms Benson is a master of her craft, and the Charismatics series is utterly compelling, witnessing her wonderful characters grow into their own power and capability.
The Fire in the Glass
I really loved this book and I’ll be buying the next one for sure. I seldom give free books here a 5 star rating but this book easily earned it. I loved the characters, the plot, the setting. The relationships between all the characters was interesting and intriguing with lots of action and mystery too. Well Done!
