London, 1812. Great Britain stands on the brink of war with America. For ten years, the struggle has continued against France and Napoleon Bonaparte. And yet, in the world another, older war is taking place: the secret battle with an innumerable demonic horde that began centuries ago. Only a handful of brave heroes stand in the path of this treacherous and predatory force threatening all living things. They are mysterious warriors belonging to the club “Dark Times,” sworn to defend humanity.
When eighteen-year-old Helen Raxall sets off for a ball at the royal palace, she doesn’t suspect that this evening—and her meeting with the enigmatic Lord Carlston—will completely change her entire life. Helen must become one of the club’s fighters and save London from a demon invasion.
