About this audiobook

A drowned prince. An ancient prophecy. A cataclysmic threat.

Lily Albright can see the future, and it looks like hell.

As Europe lurches toward the brink of war, a corpse emerges from London’s sewers—and the long-forgotten oracle of an obscure medieval saint comes to fruition, threatening to obliterate the city in an apocalypse of smoke and ash.

Lily is determined to stop the catastrophe, and she’ll call on all her new friends to do it, from a boy who talks with birds to a woman who speaks with the dead—and the enigmatic Lord Strangford, whose ability to see into the darkest corners of Lily’s soul threatens to tear their relationship apart. Together, they’re pulled into a web of lies that winds from the gutters of Limehouse to the champagne-soaked ballrooms of Saint John’s Wood, where rumors of a mysterious white snake lead Lily to a choice that could cost her everything.

A sky of painted stars burns. A red hand is rising. And Lily’s powers are about to be put to the ultimate test.

Return to the arcane world of The London Charismatics as this riveting historical fantasy series continues with The Shadow of Water.
