Once a brilliant detective inspector at Scotland Yard, he lost everything after a case known only as the St. Giles Horror shattered his mind and reputation. Now, he's a private investigator specializing in mundane betrayals, his only companions a bottle of laudanum and the ghosts of his past. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eHis dreary existence is shattered by the arrival of the wealthy Lord Ashworth, whose daughter, Eleanor, has vanished. This is no simple case of a runaway heiress. Eleanor's dangerous curiosity has led her into the clutches of the Ebon Hand, a secret society that dabbles in arcane rituals and the horrifying power of the Crimson Aether. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eTo save her, Alistair must return to the world of black magic and cosmic terror that broke him. He finds an unlikely, and powerful, ally in Eleanor herself-a woman transformed by her ordeal into an oracle who can see the city's secret emotional landscape. Together, this disgraced detective and haunted psychic must form a desperate alliance, even turning to London's most ruthless gangs, to fight a war hidden in the gaslight. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eBut as they unravel the conspiracy, they discover the Ebon Hand is merely the servant of a far older, more terrifying entity. To defeat it, they must face not only a cabal of murderous sorcerers but the very source of their own trauma. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cb\u003e**Perfect for fans of *Penny Dreadful*, *Jonathan Strange \u0026amp; Mr Norrell*, and readers who love dark fantasy, occult detective mysteries, and Lovecraftian horror, *The Crimson Aether* is the first volume in an epic gaslamp fantasy series where the greatest monsters are found not in the shadows, but in the hearts of men.**\u003c\/b\u003e","brand":"Atlantic Books","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":46334174593175,"sku":"9798294888220","price":809.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9798294888220.webp?v=1768671514","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/the-crimson-aether-a-dark-gaslamp-fantasy-of-magic-mystery-and-monsters-in-victorian-london-9798294888220","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
