Quitting her husband's house and moving back in with her
horrible family, Lady Maccon becomes the scandal of the
London season.
Queen Victoria dismisses her from the Shadow Council, and
the only person who can explain anything, Lord Akeldama,
unexpectedly leaves town. To top it all off, Alexia is
attacked by homicidal mechanical ladybugs, indicating, as
only ladybugs can, the fact that all of London's vampires
are now very much interested in seeing Alexia quite
thoroughly dead.
While Lord Maccon elects to get progressively more
inebriated and Professor Lyall desperately tries to hold the
Woolsey werewolf pack together, Alexia flees England for
Italy in search of the mysterious Templars. Only they know
enough about the preternatural to explain her increasingly
inconvenient condition, but they may be worse than the
vampires -- and they're armed with pesto.
