A deadman larger than life. A demon with the face of an angel.
Two men thrown together in a world endangered by an ancient curse.
Is their unlikely union strong enough to save humankind...and each other?
Silas Mercer is a deadman. Or at least, he was.
Waking in his grave, with no memory of the life he once lived, Silas finds himself in the employ of the mysterious Order of the Golden Dawn. A secretive organisation specialising in all things supernatural.
At first, Silas is given little more to do than make a spectacle of himself. Amusing the cream of London's society with his terrible dancing skills and inept attempts at hosting séances.
But his odd new life takes a startling turn when the Order partners him with the scandalous libertine, Tobias Astaroth. A quick-tempered, dangerously beautiful man who harbours some hellish secrets.
This ill-matched partnership soon faces its first terrifying challenge.
A monster straight from a nightmare is haunting the woods of Leicester, and the Order send Silas and Tobias to end its rampage.
But nothing in this world is as it seems. Not the Order. Not Silas himself, and certainly not the incorrigible and utterly beguiling Mr Astaroth.
For Silas, the dangers that lie ahead are many.
But none are so perilous as the devilish man by his side.
