Meet Austin Endicott. The year is 1914 and Austin is in an antiquarian, who sells exotic artifacts from his Exhibition Rooms, close to the British Museum. His calm life is thrown into turmoil when a foreign visitor steals a curiosity from his collection, the Blood Stone. Finding why the object was stolen, and what it represents, takes him on a strange journey, first to the Carpathian mountains of Transylvania and then into the London underworld, during the First World War. Austin's story hinges on his unraveling of a sinister plot concocted in Germany - an international conspiracy aimed at the heart of the British Empire. At times, only supernatural forces keep him alive.
