Author Description

‘I am the mist in the air, the smoke that dances through these streets, I lurk on the rooftops and in the alleyways, I am the peril on the streets, the opium smoke in the pipes of fiends. I am the descendant of the five dragons. Soon I shall ascend. And all of London shall see what I truly am. They shall feel the chaos I will wrought upon the world.’<br/>-Read the note left with a number of paintings and murder victims all political and business figureheads in the Limehouse District of 19th century London.<br/>Elizabeth Grainger a want-to-be police constable is called upon as a special constable to help solve the case. Her wild Penny Dreadful like theories put her at odds with the Limehouse constabulary and Anglo-Chinese relations make the situation in the district even more tense. As well as her sojourns with opium that give her strange visions of five dragons. She stays steadfast in her rationality and does her best to follow the empirical evidence. But it leads down strange paths, an obscure Shinto cult, and the mysterious Dragoness herself who could be a living ghost with sinister designs of a scope much larger and more ethereal than the downfall of a few business magnates and political figures.
