520 The Constantine Affliction, a strange malady that kills
some of its victims and physically transforms others into
the opposite sex, has spread scandal and upheaval
throughout society. Scientific marvels and disasters, such
as clockwork courtesans, the alchemical fires of
Whitechapel, electric carriages, and acidic monsters
lurking in the Thames, have forever altered the face of
the city. Pembroke "Pimm" Hanover is an aristocrat with
an interest in criminology, who uses his keen powers of
observation to assist the police or private individuals,
at least when he's sober enough to do so. Ellie Skyler,
who hides her gender behind the byline "E. Skye," is an
intrepid journalist driven by both passion and necessity
to uncover the truth, no matter where it hides. When Pimm
and Skye stumble onto a dark plot that links the city's
most notorious criminal overlord with the Queen's new
consort, famed scientist Sir Bertram Oswald, they soon
find the forces of both high and low society arrayed
against them. Can they save the city from the arcane
machinations of one of history's biggest monsters and
uncover the shocking origin of the Constantine Affliction.
