Summary

A new evil steps from the shadows to haunt Victorian London. As Vanessa Ives's strange powers grow, she struggles to control her personal demons while devious forces cast spells on those closest to her--African explorer Sir Malcolm Murray, troubled American Ethan Chandler, the reckless Dorian Gray, loyal Sembene, the anguished Creature, tender-hearted Victor Frankenstein, and the beautiful Lily. And in this unnerving world where literature's most iconic and terrifying characters roam the streets, unlikely alliances form to battle unimaginable temptations.
