Between these pages you will find yourself transported back in time to the high Gothic.
Victorian London.
The year is 1899 and both the century and the Queen are dying.
As the London populace is gripped by a terrifying series of paranormal murders, eighteen year old Kaspian Blackthorne finds himself on a decadent journey of self discovery. Victorian London is a place where appearance is everything, but sometimes appearances can be deceiving. Behind the grand houses, carriages and silks, London is a dark labyrinth of sorrow and violence.
Amongst the gambling dens, dancehalls, and brothels you'll find No 7, known to its members as Eve's; the most exclusive club in London, infamous for its 'Palace of Beautiful Freaks'.
Each exhibit has a history, each their own unique story.

This story is a puzzle that comes together very nicely. In the beginning we meet Kaspian, an 18 year old, who lost his parents at a young age. Living with his guardian, Kaspian is immersed into the paranormal world where he learns he has abilities...and must learn to control them.

Eve is the owner of an exclusive establishment, Club No. 7. She is very intriguing and mysterious throughout the story. When Kaspian meets her for the first time, it is love at first sight. With all the stories twisting and turning in the book they all start to come together...but will Eve love Kaspian in return?  

This is a dark and suspenseful story that draws all the different characters together when there is a series of murders. The characters grow with the story and the plot is keeps the pages turning to find out what is going to happen.
