What this book is about
Miranda Ellis has a pyrokinetic power she's kept secret. When she's forced into marriage with Benjamin Archer—a man who covers himself entirely—she doesn't expect to fall in love with a monster. Firelight opens the Darkest London series: a Victorian paranormal romance with genuinely original world-building and one of the most interesting Beauty-and-the-Beast riffs in the genre.
