WHEN YOU HAVE ONE OF THE FIRST BRAINS OF EUROPE UP AGAINST YOU, AND ALL THE POWERS OF DARKNESS AT HIS BACK, THERE ARE INFINITE POSSIBILITIES…
London, 1901. As the British Empire wages war in the name of a Queen whose health is failing, a series of mysterious events reveals a crack in the high corridors of power. A crack that threatens to destabilise monarchy, government and Empire. And at its centre, controlling the flow of information and influence, a shadowy figure plans a final deadly move.
Drawn into the game and unsure who to trust, Sherlock Holmes and Dr. Watson find themselves confronting figures from their past in a desperate race against time... but just how much is Holmes willing to sacrifice?
