Why these tropes fit
Set in Victorian London, the first book in the Emily Chambers Spirit Medium Trilogy follows spirit medium Emily Chambers, who faces social ostracism for her ability to see and touch ghosts, and who accidentally releases a shape-shifting demon into the mortal realm. She is assigned to work with Jacob Beaufort, a ghost who was murdered and unable to crossover to the afterlife, who hides a secret past. The pair must complete a quest to send the demon back before it wreaks havoc on the city, all while navigating a forbidden romance between a living woman and a dead man.
