They soon find themselves in mortal danger, lost in the world of Revenants 'souls that are held back from heaven by sorcery', and are forced to use their own science to help save the Countess's life and then their own. In 2010, the body of a young girl is discovered on a train with no clues as to what has killed her, but numerous symbols are drawn onto her body.
