Tradition. Loyalty. Respect. Murder. Normal Family stuff...
Lydia is pulled into the Crow Family business by her shady Uncle Charlie. He has decided that Lydia needs to learn the truth about her infamous Family and to step into her role within it - whether she likes it or not.
After Lydia's wrongful arrest, her relationship with DCI Fleet is decidedly rocky, but when a teenage girl goes missing from Highgate Woods she must put aside her emotions and work the case.
Lydia is increasingly alarmed by Charlie's methods, but is trapped by loyalty. Then a direct attack on the Crows raises the tension between the Families to boiling point, and the mysterious Pearl Family step out of the shadows.
Can Lydia restore balance to the magical Families of London without losing her soul?
Book 5: The Copper Heart
Heavy is the head that wears the crown...

When the head of the Silver Family, Alejandro, drops down dead, Lydia needs to work out whether it was natural causes or murder. And fast.
Lydia has made enemies of the Pearl King, Maria Silver, and her own uncle. Plus, her position at the top puts her in the sights of many more. Lydia has evaded death in the past, and is gaining greater mastery over her power every day, but now she isn't just worried about saving herself...
Can Lydia find out what happened to Alejandro Silver before she runs out of luck?

There's a new Crow in town...
After the explosive events of The Copper Heart, Lydia must deal with a secret service operative with murder in his heart.
The mysterious Mr Smith has sent a professional assassin after Lydia and the bonds of blood are stretched to breaking point when it turns out to be someone very close to home.
Meanwhile, the head of the powerful Silver Family is demanding a favour and Lydia must comply or risk their fledgling alliance.
To be strong enough to beat the odds stacked against her Lydia must delve deep into Crow Family lore, but what she discovers is far from a fairy tale...
In a fight between two Crows, only one can win, but is Lydia willing to do what it takes to defeat her adversary?
