1810s – England
One man faces death.
With the help of his team, Mr. Michael Coulson-Jones has overcome the deadly Root elixir that turned him into a monster. But now that they know more about the poisonous potion, he is faced with an inevitable truth—unless he agrees to the risk of taking more, he will eventually die.
One man faces theft.
In the meantime, a beautiful, infamous French spy and her group of thugs have landed on English soil, intent on stealing the mysterious plant that Apothecary Jack uses to control his underworld empire. They play a violent game of hide-and-seek with Michael’s team amidst the rookeries of London.
One man faces rage.
Then one of the team is afflicted by a savage, insane rage after exposure to the strange pollen of Jack’s plants. The team must not only battle the French spies and Apothecary Jack, but also a sickness of the mind tormenting one of their own.
