The first book in Mercedes Lackey's Elemental Masters series. Dr. Maya Witherspoon, daughter of a British ex-pat and a Brahmin priestess, has come to London from India because she suspects that a malevolent supernatural force killed her father and is now targeting her. She's never had any formal magical training, but she uses what she does know and can make work to protect herself and her household while operating as a doctor against the sexism of the Edwardian period. Only, the evil that she fled India to escape has followed her to Britain, and she's going to need allies...Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })Not to be confused with the third book of The Kane Chronicles. | |

Back-Alley Doctor: Dr. Maya Witherspoon fits the "highly trained and well-equipped criminal" version. She’s a fully-qualified doctor and surgeon, with a perfectly respectable clinic. She also volunteers at a clinic in one of the rougher neighborhoods of London, holds late office hours for the convenience of several courtesans/mistresses among her patients, and is willing to provide any female patient with contraception (illegal at the time). | |

Ambiguously Evil: We don't know what is up with Kali Durga. She does eventually kill Shivani for the crimes the priestess commits in her name, but it's not clear whether She approves of the thugees and Human Sacrifice in the normal course of business; Shivani's death may be a case of Even Evil Has Standards or Good All Along. | |
