Summary:
An exciting new Victorian-era urban fantasy for followers of Kevin Hearne’s Iron Druid Chronicles, the Showtime series Cent Dreadful, as well as the Sherlock Holmes films featuring Robert Downey, Jr.
With a overflow of dark magic going to engulf Victorian London, can a small number of heroes vanquish a legion of the undead?
When monster-hunter Malcolm MacFarlane results in the gruesome aftermath of the ritual murder inside a London chapel, he enlists assistance from magician-scribe Simon Archer and about The Undying Legion: Crown & Essential alchemist extraordinaire Kate Anstruther. Learning the macabre picture, they struggle to understand obscure clues in the historic Egyptian hieroglyphics carved in to the victim’s heart-as well as bizarre mystical allusions to the intimate poetry of William Blake. A very important factor is apparent: Some very potent dark magic is at work.
But this human sacrifice is the 1st in some ritualized slayings. Eager to save lives since there is still time, Simon, Kate, and Malcolm-along with gadget geek Penny Carter and Charlotte, a teenager werewolf-track down a necromancer who’s reanimating the deceased. As the group battles an unrelenting army of undead, a robust Egyptian mummy, and serpentine demons, the necromancer shows an elusive quarry. And when the true reason for the ritual is certainly revealed, the gifted allies must confront a harmful force that is positively apocalyptic.
