Darker than the night, like a piece of reality had been ripped out of the world to grant a view into the endless abyss of the void, a shape rose from the low hills of the moor, towering above all. Sherlock Holmes, his brother Mycroft, and their associate Mary Morstan are some of the most adept mages in London, safeguarding the peace of the city. Their daily life of solving crimes is interrupted when an ancient threat rises in Dartmoor. The magical entity of London herself forces the Holmes brothers to throw themselves against the attackers to protect her citizens at the cost of their lives. Secrets and betrayal, heartbreak and blackmail force the trio apart, yet they can only stand against the Beasts of London together. The Hound is coming.

A gruesome display of corpses on the frozen Thames spells doom for Mycroft Holmes. Scotland Yard singles him out as the main suspect of a series of violent crimes, because they’re all connected by a single thread: Mycroft’s name. As public attention rises, he fights to avert any danger to his family and the Secret Service. To capture the culprit, Mycroft has to face an exceedingly uncomfortable truth about himself, which puts not only his career, but his very life into question.

Dr. Watson received a dirty and crushed but forwarded note from Holmes, a call for help and summons to Milan. Watson immediately turned to the person most able to help him, "Mycroft Holmes, secret agent and eternally conerned elder brother. Mycroft has to team up with Dr. Watson and fellow agent Victoria Trevor to follow Shlerlock's trail and stand against the dark forces that threaten his life." -- Cover, page [4]
