For centuries, demons of every shape and size have flocked to London, thriving on the grand city's decadence and sin.
The valiant efforts of the Angels and Reapers have preserved the peace, maintaining a delicate balance.
--Until now.
In the city's dark underbelly, rumors are stirring. Alliances are forming. Young demons and fledglings are flocking to the cause of an enigmatic leader known only as The Baron, a charismatic being who weaves vivid tales of a world devoid of Reapers, a world where humans are little more than livestock, a world where the Angels are imprisoned within their heavenly realm.
A world where the demons rule.
The Baron's followers grow bolder by the hour, hunting in packs, feeding upon souls indiscriminately, building a network of bribery and deceit. While they still keep to the hours after sunset, their numbers are steadily increasing, and with them, their audacity. Reapers and Angels who venture into the city streets alone rarely return.
The uneasy peace grows ever-closer to shattering, and in spite of demands from other immortals, Lucifer has neither denounced nor openly supported these insurgents. As the silence from below continues, some claim to believe that the Dark Prince has abdicated-- or died.
Caught in the crossfire, the oblivious prize in this grand game, London's human population believes that the frequent disappearances as of late are the work of a second serial killer, a new Ripper, dubbed 'The Beast' for his indiscriminate murders and his tendency of brutalizing his victims.
A web is being woven. The peace can no longer be maintained.
War is on its way, and London is its chosen battlefield.
