Summary
Burned-out forensics student Olivia Thatcher finds herself inexplicably torn from her world and thrust into the gaslit streets of Victorian London — right into the path of the Queen's Watchdog and his devilish butler. With nothing but her wits, modern knowledge, and a slowly fraying sense of reality, she joins the morally questionable duo in solving the unsolvable.
As she becomes entangled in their world of secrets and sin, her sharp mind and unexpected compassion begin to leave a mark — not just on the living, but the damned as well. But as cases grow darker and bonds deepen, she must face a terrifying question: what if going home means losing the only souls who genuinely see her?
Will she survive? Is the real question.

Summary
“He’s the prince of Kremnos,” your husband said when your shock stretched on. “A right beast, I’ll say. We almost fell to his efforts, but in the end, we bested him — as you can see. What do you think? Do you like him?”
“He’s — it’s — horrible,” you said, your skin crawling the longer and longer you stared at the prince, your words a jumble, your head spinning. You wanted to be anywhere but in this courtyard, in front of this fallen man, who was kept alive for — for what? For amusement? For play? As a gift?
“Isn’t he?” your husband said, patting you on the shoulder with a grim smile. “And now he is yours."
When the husband you’ve never met returns from the war you’ve never understood, he comes bearing a strange and inexplicable gift — a prince in chains who he refuses to kill.
