This was a very good book, though a little slow at first. It combines 17th century London politics with the Fae world underground all while a fire burns the city. Here is the synopsis (It is also in the second pic).
Above ground and below, a war is raging-and London is its battleground.
The year is 1666. The King and Parliament vie for power, fighting each other with politics and armies alike. Below, the faerie court has enemies of its own. The old ways are breaking down, and no one knows what will rise in their place.
But now, a greater threat has come, one that could destroy everything. In the house of a sleeping baker, a spark leaps free of the oven-and ignites a blaze that will burn London to the ground. While the humans struggle to halt the conflagration that is devouring the city street by street, the fae pit themselves against a less tangible foe: the spirit of the fire itself, powerful enough to annihilate everything in its path.
Mortal and fae will have to lay aside the differences that divide them, and fight together for the survival of London itself....
