Evadne abandons her chaperone duties to enlist in a fencing school, where she meets her ideal master, George. He reveals a mission to root out demons and their servants and enlist Evadne’s aid. As Evadne delves deeper into this hidden society, she suspects Lady Henry’s demonic influence—and wonders whether Dorina has become involved.
