Every family has its demons, but the Skylar's craft a new meaning for the phrase. Before the murder, Clara's greatest worry was scaring off the gold-digging gentlemen drooling over her father's business. Now, with the family plummeting covertly into debt and a supernatural creature leaving a trail of blood-drained corpses along London's riverside, she must master the art of two roles. By day, she masquerades a cunning lady of class set on an engagement with the infamous Sebastian Knox. At night, she is a huntress. Joined by clandestine Darius Alcor, she prowls the shadows, determined to exploit a conspiracy spanning back decades. But with magic and scheming at every corner, no-one can ever truly be trusted.
