The House of Storms
To save her only son from the ravages of consumption, the Greatgrandmistress of the Telegraphers Guild, Alice Meynell, has made a bargain with her former lover—a changeling in the land of Einfell where magic may accomplish what science could not—to do whatever is necessary to cure him. Once he is healthy again, her son will be torn between his duty to lead the guild and his love for a servant girl. But Alice has already chosen her son's destiny and she'll see him achieve it even if it means ending the Age of Light.
