In the fog-shrouded streets of Victorian London, where the gaslight casts long shadows and secrets linger in forgotten corners, Patience Worth is not the demure librarian she appears to be. Behind her practical appearance lies a mind as sharp as Sherlock Holmes himself. When young women begin vanishing without trace, dismissed by authorities as mere runaways, Patience alone notices the pattern.

In the mist-shrouded marshlands of northern England, something ancient awakens with clockwork precision. By day, Patience Worth appears merely a meticulous London librarian, but as dusk falls, she transforms into something else entirely—a relentless investigator with an attic sanctuary where newspaper clippings form a tapestry of mysterious disappearances spanning generations. With forensic precision and a mind that catalogs the smallest details, she ventures to Bolam Village, where whispers of "the cycle" hang in the air like the bog's perpetual fog. The village holds its secrets close.

In the year 1899, women are expected to behave, but Tesla St. Vrain is no ordinary young woman. Hiding her psychic powers from the world, she wants nothing more than to lead an everyday Victorian life. But after a simple witchcraft ritual goes awry, she is bestowed with the magical power of quintessence and forced down a path of darkness.
