When Aidan Evernight receives a letter from Lady Luella Jane Moran, his new betrothed through the machinations of his father, he is less than pleased with her desire to rebel against their parents and refuse the betrothal. In the hopes of encouraging her to accept, Aidan urges his younger brother, Eamon, to write to Luella Jane, since Aidan never learned to read or write (for unnamed reasons, possibly dyslexia). E begins a correspondence with Lu and falls in love with his brother's fiancée over the course of the three years in which they exchange letters before Lu arrives to marry Aidan. Lu doesn't understand why her fiancé is so cold to her, or why she feels drawn to his brother, but when Aidan turns Lu's world upside down, Eamon is there to pick up the pieces. He hopes she can forgive his deception and the supernatural abilities he hides, not realizing his love has secrets of her own.
VERDICT This semi-epistolary novella with Gothic overtones is set approximately 40 years prior to and has ties to Callihan's Winterblaze (2013). Fans of the "Darkest London" books will enjoy this story, but new readers would be better off starting with Firelight (2012). Recommended for libraries owning the series.
