angels dark dead dragon england ghosts gothic london magic myth

For the first time in two hundred years the River Thames has frozen over.

In the city an Ice Fair has sprung up bringing the wonders of the old Frost Fairs back to London. Its centrepiece is a circus with a Dragon in it.  Audiences are captived, the press at odds -is it real or a clever piece of deception.

At an old house in Snowfields, Martin Warr is working his apprenticeship at Warr and Pinkel, his father's Undertakers firm when the body of a young girl cut out from the ice of the frozen river arrives to be prepared for burial. 

When the ghost of Dr Craw, the Southwark Strangler who haunts the Undertakers house suggests that the girl may have been murdered, Martin decides to investigate.

The Ice Fair is a curate's egg of a story. A gothic tale of majicians, angels and ghosts, dragons and gods, of murders and the thing that lurks in the dark, twisting currents of the River Thames. 

And about an Undertaker who thaws the heart of the Frost Queen.

If I Die Young by LordHebur

(Prequel to Clair de Lune) "We're born to believe the opposite of different is normal, and vice versa. Well, I'm the opposite of both." I lost my parents just before my fifteenth birthday. The circumstances were deemed accidental and it was swept under the rug. Truth is, someone covered up the whole situation and I was sent somewhere I knew no one would find me. I was swept under the rug too. Critter Ridge Orphanage is an old building placed in the pines somewhere in the state of New Jersey, run by a kindly woman and housing a family of others like me. Boys and girls all different in their own aspects. They didn't like me and I didn't like them, which was fine. Miss Huld, the owner, seemed to like me enough and that was all I needed. Things changed, though. They found a dead body on our property and everyone scrambled to lock the doors and bar the windows. The normal kids at school all started to edge away from us, from me in particular. They called us witches and devil worshippers. They were scared they might be next. I couldn't keep my nose out of where it didn't belong and then everyone was involved in the mystery. There's ghosts around every corner in this house, and if we don't figure out what's wrong here, we might just become the next ones.

After chasing his next lead, however, Elijah accidentally rescues Zoe, a journalist locked in his target's trunk. He has no choice but to bring her and her roommate, Jake, along with him as he flees the city to avoid capture.
