The year is 1888 and Kàri Leifr, the new patron of the London institute, has begun training the next generation of England's Shadow hunters. After a successful two weeks of training life seemed like it was going so well, but when both mundanes and shadow hunters are brutalised in the streets life takes a turn. Kàri, being the fiery 23 year old that he is, takes it upon himself to find the murderer and put an end to the horror, but a certain Ripper has a few tricks up his sleeve.
