Miss Alexia Tarabotti does not look like the ideal beauty of the Victorian era: she is smart, dark and with a hook-nosed nose - like her Italian father, and therefore, at twenty-five, she has not yet married. And Miss Tarabotti has no soul, which makes her unique... One day, in the midst of a party, Alexia almost became the victim of a hungry vampire, who grossly violated all the norms of etiquette. The girl had to use her favorite weapon - an umbrella with a silver tip, and the incident ended tragically. As part of his duty, the leader of a pack of London werewolves, Lord McCon, takes on the task of investigating the death of an ill-mannered bloodsucker. He is powerful, fierce and magnificent. And he sympathizes with Alexia, although she does not suspect it... Meanwhile, the investigation takes a strange turn, causing alarm among Queen Victoria herself. At some point, the heroes find themselves on the verge of death, and only Miss Tarabotti’s abilities allow them to achieve the desired result.
