In a high-tech Victorian London, Sir Galahad and his squad (including his mentor Perceval and the headstrong Isabeau) battle the "Half-Breeds"—deadly Lycans (werewolves) that have plagued humanity for centuries. The Order uses Black Water, a mystical substance that grants them longevity and rapid healing. The chapter establishes a city on the brink of civil war between the wealthy United India Company and a desperate rebel insurgency.
