Victorian London's grim backstreets are no place for the faint of heart. Blink, the orphaned pickpocket, knows that in the sprawling smoky capital, only the strongest survive.

And he'll do whatever he must to survive.

When he's caught picking the wrong man's pocket, Blink finds himself swept up in the hunt for a lethal terrorist. The eccentric inventist, Abernathy is hot on the terrorist's trail, but he needs someone who knows their way around the city's seedy underbelly.

And he's willing to pay.

To stop a madman unleashing the power of an ancient curse, Blink will journey through the world of man and machine, and into a place of magic and monsters. As bullets fly and bodies fall, Blink fights to uncover the truth behind the curse, and in doing so, discovers the shadow of a conspiracy unlike any other.
