In the unused railways beneath the streets of London lives a peculiar sort of folk; the outcast; the overlooked. Valerie Glass wasn't always a Sewer Rat. She remembers the days of splendour, dinner parties and extravagant gifts. She was to be a Lady, envied for her beauty and cleverness. One night before her very eyes her future unravels. Her mother is murdered by wildling vampires, her father's body torn to pieces. It would have been her fate too had it not been for Cordelia: a vampire who still sees the beauty in humanity. Valerie escapes with Cordelia to Underlondon where they remain hidden for a decade. With no warning strange things begin to plague the city. Harlots go missing only to turn up several days later with their throats torn out, hearts missing. Thieves are found wandering the dark streets above eyes glazed over and mumbling an archaic incantation. A war is coming and a boy with eyes the colour of jade believes he is the key to Valerie's survival.

"She's a witch, I'm a mirror child. We're one Cullen short of a Saturday Night Live sketch." Dead people are popping up in Emerson Quinn's mirrors, and when that isn't the strangest part of a girl's day something has to be done. Her mother's in jail, her godmother's a witch; and she learns of a twin brother she never knew she had. Oh, and Emerson herself is a newly-fledged member of the Speculos - a secret society that keeps balance between the human and the unnaturals. Something is definitely a secret when even a girl's know-it-all witch of a godmother --literally, not figuratively-- doesn't know much of anything. Now Emerson must save her brother. It will be the race of her life - but she's only just realized there's no track. *Many kudos to @DrBoots for the lovely cover. She's wonderful!*

Alexis I have to get out of here. If I don't, I'll start to go crazy. I'll do whatever it takes. I've been lied to before, and it hurt. It hurt so bad. But now, maybe it's my turn to lie. You do what you have to right? Zach I'm lonely. I haven't been forever, but lately I am. My dad always showed me these lame magic tricks. Now I know they weren't real, but maybe I'm wrong. Maybe magic controls everything we do. Maybe it controls everyone we meet. Why we meet them, how we meet them, how they act towards you. Now is no time to get upset about it. My dad always said magic is a way we show our emotions in an unexplainable way. He has never been so right. Expression: a diamond in the rough Meaning: someone who has great qualities, despite a hidden/rough exterior; someone obtaining great potential and heart
