Summary: Victorian London is terrified by a series of mysterious, brutal murders and unsolved kidnappings, hotly investigated by the renowned detective Angel; can he solve the mystery before those responsible succeed in their nefarious plots to birth the ultimate creature of power? Or will he be defeated by opponents with powers that are a match and more for his own? At the same time, amidst the ever-shifting lines between good and evil, can confirmed rake, thief, and gambler Remy LeBeau manage to evade the entrapping web of his own criminal associations and defeat the Sherlockian mind of the vampire-turned-hero? Or will the sensual distraction of a beautiful American widow prove his downfall?
All chapters may be found here.

"They could be hurt. Willow. Miss Chase."
"I will not let anything happen to them," Angel replied, his voice hard as steel.
"You cannot save everybody, sir! Or have you forgotten?"
Angel's eyes flashed darkly. "I will never forget. Not for the rest of my years, Xander. And I fear they will be great in number. I have no wish to add to those memories. The ladies will be safe." Angel stood then, and put his hand on Xander's shoulder. "Trust me."

"Captivity," Rogue corrected precisely, and smoothed her hand over the ribs she'd thumped in silent apology, the corners of her mouth quirking upward.
"Ah, yes," Remy said. "And what a fine prisoner you've made..." His hands slowly traveled down over Rogue's body once more, and he felt himself grow warm. "Dis one's lovely Rogue," he murmured to her and kissed her softly, the barest touch against her lips.
Rogue smiled against his mouth, regretting the brevity of the touch, and softly stroked a tumbled lock of hair from his fine, high forehead with her still-gloved fingers. "Sure ain't anybody else's," she quipped, absurdly touched by the possessive phrasing. Sighing, she snuggled close again, her eyelids growing heavy.
"Remember dat, chere," he whispered, completely serious, as he watched her eyes close.
