About this listen

A library of arcane mysteries. A band of outcasts with complicated powers. The shadow of war on the horizon. Enter the world of the London Charismatics.

1914. A killer stalks the gaslit streets of London, draining the city’s mediums of blood. Lily Albright knows who will be next to die.

For as long as she can remember, Lily has been cursed with visions of the future that she can never change. When a murderer threatens someone she loves, she’s determined to find a way to finally thwart fate—but she can’t do it alone. To save a life, she must trust her most dangerous secret to the denizens of The Refuge, a hidden sanctuary for those who “know the impossible,” from a boy who talks with birds to the reclusive Lord Strangford, whose black gloves conceal a power with the potential to upend all of Lily’s carefully built defenses.

Alongside uncomfortable new allies, Lily follows the threads of a conspiracy that weaves through London in a trail of fire and blood, from a Bond Street gallery where an artist speaks from beyond the grave to a burned-out Southwark hospital haunted by the ghosts of a terrible atrocity—one that reaches all the way to Westminster, where the glittering halls of Parliament already whisper of war. Unraveling it—and changing the future—will force her to face a past rife with betrayal… and embrace the gift she has spent her life trying to escape.

Because power always comes with a price.

Pick up The Fire in the Glass and fall into a riveting fantasy series where history dances with dark, strange magic.
