"A debut novel and the first in a new series, 'Ordinary Monsters' is a stunning work of historical fantasy. England, 1882. In Victorian London, two children with mysterious powers are hunted by a figure of darkness - a man made of smoke. At an estate outside Edinburgh, other children with gifts - the Talents - have been gathered. There, the children will discover the truth about their abilities, and the nature of what is stalking them: that the worst monsters sometimes come bearing the sweetest gifts."--
