THE CATCHER OF SOULS

Sebastian Blackmore, Viscount Keswick, has two obsessions: concocting poisons and hunting down individuals whose unnatural powers go against the will of the Crown. But when a killer known only as “Jack the Ripper” leaves a trail of dissected women in Whitechapel’s slums, Sebastian finds himself seeking a different sort of prey.

Abel Dunsmore, Earl of Wrenbury and Sebastian’s best friend, is famed as London’s most gifted painter. But his talent comes at a price—a curse he believes unbreakable. When Sebastian enlists his help to solve the mystery behind the gruesome murders in Whitechapel, the walls around Abel’s carefully guarded secrets crumble one by one, risking their friendship—and the life of the person he holds most dear.

Embarking upon a sinister pursuit through the gaslit alleys of London’s East End, Sebastian and Abel are soon to find out that the murderer they seek has much darker designs—and they only have until his next victim to uncover them.
