About this listen
This audiobook also includes the bonus novella A Wrath of Sparrows.
As World War I rages across Europe, a military officer is brutally murdered in a remote English country house. Lord Strangford is the only suspect.
To clear his name, Lily must unravel the bizarre secrets that surround the corpse. It's a quest that takes her from the besieged Yorkshire coast to the heart of the empire as a brilliant and relentless police inspector haunts her every move.
But the dead man isn't who he seemed to be. The search for truth—and the real killer—plunges Lily into a game of secrets tied to the highest echelons of the government. To expose the heart of it, she must pull together friends scattered by loss and conflict, pushing the limits of an occult power she's far from understanding.
The fate of the war might just hang in the balance...along with the life of the man Lily loves.
Bridge of Ash is the thrilling continuation of The London Charismatics historical fantasy series, narrated by 20 year acting veteran Alex Picard.

Librarian Sylvia Ashe knows nothing about her past, having grown up without a father and a mother who refused to discuss him.

I decided that Orion Lake needed to die after the second time he saved my life. Everyone loves Orion Lake. Everyone else, that is. Far as I’m concerned, he can keep his flashy combat magic to himself. I’m not joining his pack of adoring fans. I don’t need help surviving the Scholomance, even if they do. Forget the hordes of monsters and cursed artifacts; I’m probably the most dangerous thing in the place. Just give me a chance and I’ll level mountains and kill untold millions, making myself the dark queen of the world.

It all started with a simple, yet sneakily difficult challenge from global best-selling author Harlan Coben: Pick a bird of prey, then use it as the inspiration for a brand-new story. The response from some of the best writers on the planet: Game on! The result: Eleven stories that are twisty, scary, surprising and bursting with imagination. An egg worth more than its weight in gold. A mysterious operative known only as Owl. An eagle-watcher who sees more than she should. Even a story that somehow places the Maltese Falcon in a nursing home.
