Young Nancy Ratcliffe is on the run.
Her father had sought refuge for his family with the Brethren, led by the charismatic but dangerous Prophet.
But now her father is gravely ill, and even the sooty streets of Victorian London hold less terror for Nancy than the brutality of Brethren Hall.
Meanwhile, Spider is biding her time.
Wrapped in dreams and visions, she paces the dark corridors and hidden staircases of the crumbling house she grew up in.
The man who murdered a part of her disappeared many years ago, but still she hopes for revenge.
