Riley Hart was only 16 when her father brutally murdered her mother and himself. At the scene of the Crime, Ciel Phantomhive and his unusual Butler, Sebastian Michealis, appear and take her and her sister, Annie, to their home. While there, Riley begins to see a certain man with long, blood-red hair hopping through trees and staring into her window. She begins to feel attatched to this man... Meanwhile, sadistic murders pop up around the Phantomhive manor, and she is forced to face this man. She learns that a young girl is responsible, and finds her family entangled in it all.
Ciel Phantomhive is called to solve the case involving a series of killings that mirror gruesome fairy tales. But finding the killer may take more assistance than just from his loyal butler, Sebastian Michaelis. Ciel hires a bookstore clerk, April Phillips, for her extensive knowledge in stories. But while she proves to be a respectable ally of the Queen's watchdog, Sebastian suspects there may be more to her than just her human limitations.
