London, 1890.
Captain John Hardwick, an embittered army veteran and opium addict,
is released from captivity in Burma and returns home,
only to be recruited by a mysterious gentlemen’s club
to combat a supernatural threat to the British Empire.
This is the tale of a secret war between parallel universes, between reality and the supernatural. A war waged relentlessly by an elite group of agents, unsung heroes whose efforts can never be acknowledged, but by whose sacrifice we are all kept safe.
