A detective with a secret...

A serial killer posing as a superhero...

A lie with the form of a man...

Question Your Reality.

Chief inspector Adelaide Shaw is on the heels of a vigilante who has enchanted the public with his supernatural performances and been declared the world's first superhero.

Not convinced, Adelaide believes him nothing more than a serial killer and turns to the expertise of the excommunicated street magician and tricksmith Oliver Whitaker.

Together, they will uncover the truth and enter a world where nothing is as it seems, bringing to light the two-hundred-year-old legacy of The Rictus: royal magician to Queen Victoria and the only person in history to be recognized as immortal.

Now, with London as their stage, and the people there audience; these two masters of illusion will perform the acts of their lives and when they're finished nothing will ever be the same again.
