Sherlock Holmes, the master of reason, is drawn into a world of supernatural terrors. As a series of grisly murders shakes London, clues point to an ancient evil lurking in the shadows. With the help of his allies, including H.G. Wells and a princess plagued by a supernatural stalker, Holmes must use his formidable deductive powers to unravel a seditious conspiracy that threatens not just the Crown, but the very fabric of sanity itself. In this collision of detective fiction and cosmic horror, the game is afoot as the detective confronts forces that defy all logic.
