London, 1910s. In the eve of war, the youngest granddaughter of the last druid of St. Ives finds out that the only people willing to teach magic to a human woman are a stranded Jotunn who never felt like leaving after the Viking invasions, and an Indian Rakshasi with a terrible case of amnesia. The price? Finding the long-lost heart of the latter, stolen by the East India Company and to be found somewhere in London.
