It is 1880 in a mechanical and supernatural
London. Agents of Prince Albert’s Secret Commission, their criminal pasts wiped
from their memories, are resurrected to fight the eldritch evils that threaten
England. Amidst this turmoil, Jim Dastard and his new partner Artifice must
stop a re-animationist raising murderous dead children. As Art and Jim pursue
their quarry, Art discovers clues about her past self, and through meeting
various intriguing women—a journalist, a medium, a prostitute, and a mysterious
woman in black—where her heart lies. Yet the question remains: What sort of
criminal was she? A new beginning, a new identity, and new dangers await Art as
she fights for the Secret Commission and for her second life.
