Designed to transport Percival to safety, the box instead pulls Liam into a grim alternate Victorian London steeped in magic and teeming with monsters.

Reluctantly embracing his role as a monster hunter, he uncovers sinister truths about his transfer and his new world. Realizing there is no one waiting for him in the life he left behind, Liam must confront the fractured reality he now inhabits, navigating a tale of survival and transformation where every shadow conceals danger and silence often speaks louder than words.
