A gritty and edgy retelling of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde, as Dr. Eliza Jekyll tackles a bizarre new murder case in an alternate Victorian London while trying to hide her secret half: Lizzie Hyde.
An important case. A worthy foe. This could make her career...or ruin it forever.
Since solving the infamous Chopper case, Dr. Eliza Jekyll is struggling to keep her career as a crime scene physician on track. She can't figure out if Remy Lafayette-mercurial Royal Society agent and wolf man-wants to marry her, eat her or burn her at the stake, while Lizzie, her jealous shadow self, wants to steal Remy and usurp Eliza's life.
But Remy tempts her with the one thing she can't resist: a bizarre crime. Now, her fragile career-and their lives-depend on catching a bloodthirsty ritual torturer dubbed the Pentacle Killer. The case proves more bewildering and terrifying than any, drawing her into a hidden world of spies, art thieves and evil alchemy, where the price of immortality is madness ... or damnation. Eliza needs Lizzie's dark ingenuity to survive, but Lizzie's treachery in love and war knows no limits. When the killer's shocking purpose is finally revealed, Eliza and Remy race to thwart a foul conspiracy to cripple the Empire's fragile war effort against the sorcerous French. Before a vengeful Lizzie finally gets rid of Eliza for good...
