LONDRES, 1895. Todo indicaba que podría ser una noche más en la Academia Covenant, cuando Eliza Kyteler y Kate Saint Germain, dos jóvenes Sangre Negra, deciden despertar a todos los muertos del cementerio Little Hill. Lo que parecía una simple travesura, se convierte en una expulsión definitiva de la Academia Covenant. Ahora, lo único que le queda a Eliza es ser presentada en sociedad y encontrar al marido perfecto. Dos cosas que, por más que sean la máxima prioridad de sus tíos, son las últimas en la lista de deseos de Eliza. Pero mientras sus días comienzan a transcurrir entre llamativos vestidos, lujosas telas y bailes donde todo lo que brilla parece ser oro, una oscura amenaza comienza a crecer en los rincones más oscuros de Londres. Veintisiete años después del asesinato de los padres de Eliza, la muerte vuelve a azotar a los Sangre Negra. Y cada víctima aparece en un estado más macabro que la anterior. ¿Quién está detrás de los asesinatos de los Sangre Negra? ¿Cuál es la amenaza que pone en peligro tanto a los brujos como a los no mágicos?
