Victorian London and in a very short time, the inhabitants of the
slums of Whitechapel will find that they have a bigger worry than
the usual deprivation, disease and crime. There's a killer in town
but not just any killer, he likes tearing his victims apart,
feeling their terror as well as their entrails Jack The Ripper is
his adopted nickname and he certainly lives up to it The part of
the Wolf Society that inhabits these streets and the ones in close
proximity to Whitechapel are also concerned. If the murderer is not
captured shortly, he'll draw attention of the unwanted kind, the
kind that may dig deeper than the Wolves would like - deeper than
they can afford. If the Hume Police Force should find evidence of
Werewolf activity, Wolves will find themselves the hunted once
again. Chased from England's shores as they were once before.
Chased or eradicated. Hazel must decide whether her Sentinels
should find the murderer or allow the Police to find him - but if
her suspicions are correct that he is a Throwback and the Police do
find him first, then the Werewolf society will be hunted and
eradicated anyway
Deadlier... What do you know about the society you live in? What
other societies share the same living space as you? None? Guess
again. Werewolves are make-believe, they don't exist. They are
legends from times gone by when science was as accurate as
horoscopes are today - but even horoscopes can hold a truth. You
think you know your neighbours, your town and your surroundings;
but everyone has a secret, some are darker than others. Hide in
plain sight. Keep everyone in the dark; give nothing away. Leave no
witnesses. These are the rules governing a society that exists
within our own. Despite what you believe, Werewolves are real. They
live amongst us and have fought for and against us for millennia.
Legends of Wolves roaming the lands which were once named Sherwood
Forest are just stories... Aren't they? Tell that to the young
women who have been brutalised, their skin and flesh shredded from
their bones with the finesse of a skilled and ruthless butcher. He
made sure the girls were going to die, but later rather than
sooner. A sadistic attacker is on the loose - could the cure be
worse than the symptom? You don't believe it? Not in this day and
age? Guess again.
Werewolf - an unrestrained beast of anarchy or a cold and
relentless, calculating killer? If you cannot answer this with
absolute certainty, it's possibly because the werewolf you met is
more evolved than man ever dreamed. Werewolves do exist and they
exist alongside our society, they have their own rules and
hierarchy, they hide in plain sight and have done for millennia.
Sometimes, the female of the species is Deadlier... than the male.
Red is back again, she has a few riots to deal with, a nest of
Throwbacks running feral, a traitor returned from the dead and to
top it off, her Lycaeon thinks she would serve Wolfkind best in
London. There's the added problem of a five hundred year phenomena
to contend with and Red may have a rival for her position as
Sentinel Exemplar. Just another average day then...
JACK THE RIPPER What really happened to him Victorian London and in
a very short time, the inhabitants of the slums of Whitechapel will
