When our story begins, it is 1898. Far from home and at the very start of her career, Eleanor Rosewood is determined to prove herself in a world that does not welcome her easily.
Plagued by recurring nightmares about her father’s death, Eleanor struggles to move on until she witnesses a killing disturbingly similar to what she has seen in her dreams. What she once believed to be imagination may be something far more real… a vampire thought long gone.
As Eleanor begins to investigate, she crosses paths with two unlikely allies who have been hunting this vampire for years. Together, they must uncover the truth behind its return and the secrets buried deep within Victorian London.
