---- - A storm rages over Victorian London the night a foreign presence tears through the veil of the world. The Fatui's forbidden ritual-meant to bind a demon-backfires, hurling Arlecchino, the Knave, into a city where demons and contracts already rule the shadows. Disoriented but unbroken, she carves her place into London society under the guise of a charitable noblewoman, running an orphanage that mirrors her lost House of the Hearth. Yet the truth of her arrival lingers: she was not summoned here by chance. Something-or someone-pulled her across worlds. Her path collides with Ciel Phantomhive, Queen's Watchdog, and his ever-loyal demon butler, Sebastian Michaelis. Sebastian senses immediately that Arlecchino is no ordinary intruder. She is neither human nor demon, but something caught in-between-an outsider with her own rules, her own justice, and perhaps her own claim to Ciel's soul. As London trembles under a surge of supernatural disturbances, alliances blur and rivalries ignite. Arlecchino must decide whether to remain a shadow in this world or risk everything to uncover the truth of the demon that dragged her here. And all the while, Sebastian watches her with his ever-knowing smile-because in the game of souls, there can be no equal. --- 𝗘𝗻𝗷𝗼𝘆 𝗿𝗲𝗮𝗱𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗱𝗲𝗮𝗿 𝗿𝗲𝗮𝗱𝗲𝗿𝘀!!
