Fantasy Steampunk
London, 1882: Queen Victoria appoints Harold Spire of the
Metropolitan Police to Special Branch Division Omega. Omega
is to secretly investigate paranormal and supernatural
events and persons. Spire, a skeptic driven to protect the
helpless and see justice done, is the perfect man to lead
the department, which employs scholars and scientists,
assassins and con men, and a traveling circus. Spire's chief
researcher is Rose Everhart, who believes fervently that
there is more to the world than can be seen by mortal eyes. Their first mission: find the Eterna Compound, which grants
immortality. Catastrophe destroyed the hidden laboratory in
New York City where Eterna was developed, but the Queen is
convinced someone escaped—and has a sample of Eterna.
Also searching for Eterna is an American, Clara Templeton,
who helped start the project after the assassination of
Abraham Lincoln nearly destroyed her nation. Haunted by the
ghost of her beloved, she is determined that the Eterna
Compound—and the immortality it will convey—will be
controlled by the United States, not Great Britain.
