Overview
1887г. Лондон. Столица цивилизованного мира. Улицы кипят жизнью, переполнены кэбами, лошадьми и бесконечной вереницей прохожих. Величественные здания и мосты, парящие над Темзой, подчеркивают власть и богатство Британской империи. Газовые фонари отбрасывают длинные тени на мощеные улицы, где за каждым углом может скрываться загадка или приключение. Британская империя Город, поглощённый всё ускоряющимся вихрем прогресса и индустриализации, не подозревает, что за его величественными фасадами, густыми туманами и мраком викторианских улиц, тяжелый лондонский смог скрывает не только фигуры прохожих, но и тени прошлого, древние и ужасающие. Улицы полны шепотов, звуков, не подвластных человеческому уху, и видений, которые могли бы свести с ума любого, кто на них взглянет. Среди роскошных особняков и грязных трущоб, в переплетении каналов и подземных туннелей, скрыты ответы на вопросы, которые лучше не задавать.
В Лондон, после многих лет отсутствия, возвращается Леди Амрита Мортимер возвращается в сопровождении своих детей, преданной прислуги и близких друзей, с мрачной миссией - похоронить в семейном склепе погибшего в далёкой и экзотической Индии мужа Персиваля и вступить в управление делами семьи. В Лондонском обществе у Амриты сложилась репутация практически героической женщины, поехавшей за мужем на край света, где она несла свет цивилизации народам не знавшим мыла, одной рукой утирая сопли детям, а другой заряжая карабин мужу. Множество легенд, разной степени правдивости, про чету Мортимеров и их приключения, дарят ей определённую известность. Статус долгое время поддерживавший интерес к ней у лондонского общества, оправдывает многие её эксцентричности, неизбежно распространяясь и на её окружение. Теперь Амриту ждёт выход обратно в лондонское общество, встречи со старыми друзьями и знакомыми и новые приключения вдали от знакомых улиц Агры и привычных интриг индийской знати.
