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.
