A thrilling new Victorian-era urban fantasy for fans of
Kevin Hearne’s Iron Druid Chronicles, the Showtime series
Penny Dreadful, and the Sherlock Holmes movies featuring
Robert Downey, Jr.
They are the realm’s last, best defense against
supernatural evil. But they’re going to need a lot more
silver.
As fog descends, obscuring the gas lamps of Victorian
London, werewolves prowl the shadows of back alleys. But
they have infiltrated the inner circles of upper-crust
society as well. Only a handful of specially gifted
practitioners are equipped to battle the beasts. Among
them are the roguish Simon Archer, who conceals his powers
as a spell-casting scribe behind the smooth veneer of a
dashing playboy; his layabout mentor, Nick Barker, who
prefers a good pub to thrilling heroics; and the self-
possessed alchemist Kate Anstruther, who is equally at
home in a ballroom as she is on a battlefield.
After a lycanthrope targets Kate’s vulnerable younger
sister, the three join forces with fierce Scottish
monster-hunter Malcolm MacFarlane—but quickly discover
they’re dealing with a threat far greater than anything
they ever imagined.
