VENATOR MORTIS (The Afton Adders)

When Jack the Ripper is captured alive, four morally gray souls discover he was never Victorian England's greatest monster.

Known only as The Widow, Olive spends her nights hunting the predators the law refuses to punish while secretly protecting abused women and children through her cabaret and sanctuary.

When notorious brothers Edward and Alcott Afton capture Jack the Ripper, their paths collide with legendary assassin Lazarus Graves. Their uneasy alliance uncovers a conspiracy hidden beneath Victorian London's polished society, forcing four broken souls to trust one another as monsters close in from every direction.

But while they hunt evil, someone far more dangerous has already set his sights on Olive.

Some monsters wear crowns.

Others wear familiar faces.
In death, they found her. In her, they found life.
