The fog thickens, the murders escalate, and Oscar Wilde suspects something far older than Jack the Ripper is stalking the streets. When a letter addressed to Arthur Conan Doyle surfaces—written by a terrified woman days before her death—the line between fiction and fate begins to blur. Wilde and Doyle spar over logic, legend, and the lure of the occult, while a cursed pen begins to write its own story.
