New Rome perches upon the shores of the Thamis River, and in its depths a teeming mass of humanity lives under the iron fist of an Empire which never fell to Vandals or Christianity. Under the cover of coalsmoke fog, secret societies bloom-thieves and murderers, lords and bullyboys.

For years Gemma Dove has planned revenge against the man who murdered her parents; so too has Avery Black sworn vengeance against the Priory. Now that their paths have crossed, they might bring down a monster and deal the blasphemers of the Nailed God a stinging blow.

Under soot-stained skies and flickering gaslamps, from the crowded poor-schools and gin-soaked tenements to the glittering whirl of Society, plans, treachery, and counter-betrayal are afoot. If Avery can convince Gemma of his trustworthiness, the duo might stand a chance. But if any suspect who Miss Dove truly is, not even the gods might save her...
