About the book

You are about to discover the secrets of The Quick

But first you must travel to Victorian Yorkshire, and there, on a remote country estate, meet a brother and sister alone in the world and bound by tragedy. In time, you will enter the rooms of Londons mysterious Aegolius Club a society of some of the richest, most powerful men in fin-de-siecle England. And at some point we cannot say when these worlds will collide.

It is then, and only then, that a new world emerges, one of romance, adventure and the most delicious of horrors and the secrets of The Quick are revealed.
