Sixteen-year-old superhero-in-training Ashley ‘Crafter’ Jason has to juggle going to a new school, finding a cure for the genetic disease slowly killing her, and protecting herself and her classmates from a villain who holds a grudge against her and her dad for reasons she does not know.

You know. Just normal teenage girl things.

Innocently (?) sent to stay with his “uncle” for the school holiday, Tomas Dearlove finds himself apprenticed to the paranormal detective agency of Lyons & Hound (established 1895) and ruthlessly plunged into a series of horrors beyond his wildest nightmares.
Vampires, were-beasts, witches and all manner of terrifying creatures from the pages of myth and unhinged fairy tale seem to have it in for poor Tom, as he finds himself embroiled in a war between various villainous factions for the supremacy of the supernatural underworld of Albion.

Johnny Grendel, the most feared and ferocious Fae in all The Nine Realms, has been freed from his bonds and is hell-bent on exacting revenge on those responsible for damning him to decades of the most cruel and torturous imprisonment, to wit: Professor Lyons and Mr Hound.
But as the esteemed paranormal investigation agency of Lyons & Hound (est. 1895) – along with their newly acquired (and not so quietly quivering) apprentice, Tomas Dearlove – race to stop the monstrous villain before his murderous rampage brings ruin to them all, the war for The Lost Crowns Of Albion threatens to boil over, as nefarious gangs of vampires, Were-Cats and Goblins continue to battle for the supremacy of the supernatural underworld.

Some truths set you free. Others show you just how trapped you really are.

Uncovering the brutal reality of the arena has been a game changer. But unlike most truth it hasn’t set them free. Armed only with their collective ability and desire for vengeance they hatch a plan akin to a suicide mission to take down the corporation responsible for their untold weeks of hell.

This final show down is going to challenge not just their metal and identities, but their entire view of the world as they know it.

As terrifying as the prospect of facing down an entire corporation the size of a military empire may seem the stakes are far bigger than just their own survival. The way of life, and the collective character of the human race, now hangs precariously in the balance. Only they can tip the scales.
