Sharon Li has a normal job in a London coffee shop but doesn't feel normal. She's beginning to realise she's a shaman, especially when she is so at one with the city, she vanishes. In order to meet others who'll understand, she starts Magicals Anonymous, a self-help group for the mystically confused coming to terms with their gifts. The meetings come with various beverages, biscuits, a Facebook page and a very good turnout. However all is not herbal tea and crunchy-creams as someone or something seems to be stealing the spirits that make London's soul and another something walks the streets tearing people limb from limb. The city is dying and gradually Sharon realises that Magicals Anonymous are more than just a social group. As odd as it sounds to look at them, the Midnight Mayor wants them to save the capital.
Her mother knows the author as [[:Category:Catherine Webb|Catherine Webb]], which is also the name under which she's been writing YA fiction since she was 14. However, more recently, using the pen name Kate Griffin, she's become just as well known for adult urban fantasy and creating [[A Madness of Angels (Matthew Swift Novels) by Kate Griffin|Matthew Swift]]. 'So', I hear you ask, 'is Sharon Li just Matthew Swift in an orange top and purple boots?' 'No', I respond vehemently, 'most definitely not!'
Their world may be the same; in fact Matthew (the 127th Midnight Mayor, protecting the interests and well-being of supernatural London, as he now is) makes a substantial appearance. However he seems a little different through Sharon's eyes than he had previously through ours and there are other glaring differences.
