En todas las islas del Imperio, se extrae detrás de la oreja de cada niño un trozo de hueso, durante un ritual que con demasiada frecuencia es fatal. Desde su palacio, el emperador utiliza estos preciosos fragmentos para crear y controlar formidables quimeras animales, los constructos que mantienen la ley y el orden. Pero su autoridad flaquea y la rebelión ruge por todas partes.

The Earl of Wrexford possesses a brilliant scientific mind, but boredom and pride lead him to reckless behavior. He does not suffer fools gladly. So when pompous, pious Reverend Josiah Holworthy publicly condemns him for debauchery, Wrexford unsheathes his rapier-sharp wit and strikes back. As their war of words escalates, London's most popular satirical cartoonist, A. J. Quill, skewers them both.

When Lord Wrexford discovers the body of a gifted inventor in a dark London alley, he promptly alerts the watchman and lets the authorities handle the matter. But Wrexford soon finds himself drawn into the murder investigation when the inventor's widow begs for his assistance, claiming the crime was not a random robbery. It seems her husband's designs for a revolutionary steam-powered engine went missing the night of his death. The plans could be worth a fortune and very dangerous in the wrong hands.
