Summary

"I was a member of a small company of emigrants, who were attacked by an overwhelming force of hostile Sioux, which resulted in the death of a large proportion of the party, in my own capture, and a horrible captivity of five months' duration. Of my thrilling adventures and experience during this season of terror and privation, I propose to give a plain, unvarnished narrative, hoping the reader will be more interested in facts concerning the habits, manners, and customs of the Indians, and their treatment of prisoners."

This leap up the ranks is as unconventional as it would be desirable to almost anyone else, but Inglis turns it down as a matter of course, preferring to someday fight on the front lines. This means turning down a celebration feast at the palace, but an eccentric man named Count Weismar is more than pleased to make a deal: they be his new pair of leading ladies in exchange for food.

The sparrows dance. A ghost whispers. And the forgotten powers of the saints rise again. 
The first World War rages across Europe, and in the wreckage of The Refuge, Lily and her allies struggle to find their way through the aftermath of a devastating loss.  
For Sam Wu, it’s a path that leads him back to Limehouse, where he must face the greatest danger of his own past on a desperate quest for revenge.  
For Lily, it’s a remote seaside manor where a military officer is strangely and brutally murdered—with Lord Strangford named the only possible suspect.  
But the dead man wasn’t who he seemed to be. A game of secrets is being played at the highest echelons of the empire, drawing Lily along a trail of lies from the bombarded coast of Yorkshire to the haunted shell of the place she once called home—while a brilliant and relentless police inspector hounds her every move.  
To reach the heart of it—and find the real killer—she must pull together friends scattered by loss and conflict, pushing the limits of an arcane gift that she is far from understanding. The fate of the war might just hang in the balance… along with the life of the man Lily loves. 
A vase will fall. A friend will be betrayed. And nothing is what it seems.  
Return to the arcane world of The London Charismatics as this riveting historical fantasy series continues with Bridge of Ash. This book also includes the special bonus Charismatics novella, A Wrath of Sparrows.
