Horror

Fantasy

A nefarious chemist and an ancient demon join forces to defile the souls of the pure of heart in Victorian London.

An elixir has the obvious effect of making its user compliant to the extreme, but unbeknownst to its maker, it also exposes the user’s vital essence—the Ka to the Egyptians, the spirit or soul to Londoners—to the supernatural realm. Likewise, it imparts sight through the veil into the immortal realm, wherein dwells a hungry demon.

Ammit, devourer of souls of the damned in ancient Egypt, was banished when she acquired a taste for the delectable pure souls of the innocent. Loosed in Victorian London, her great predatory senses pursue the users of the elixir. But once tracked and cornered, their Ka must be consumed before the sight of her bestial chimeric form frightens them to death and renders their souls indelible.

An invisible hand manipulates the world, wreaking havoc upon the common folk, leaving entire villages desolate in its wake while making a few men terribly rich.

Coin is a commoner left with nothing but anger and sadness, but when he is drawn into the clandestine plot of Devonshire and Wellington, he meets Helen. Each unknowingly holds part of a key to defeating the puppetmaster and righting the world.

When an experiment goes wrong, each is put in the other’s body. Coin expects an immediate reversal from his pretense as a highborn lady, but Helen knows she’s come out a winner. Though she is now a commoner, she is also a man in this man’s world.

When a third diabolical participant enters the body exchange, all hope seems lost, but Helen and Coin must soldier on toward defeat of malevolence that threatens not only the British Empire but humanity itself.
