The daughters of the primordial goddess of noght, Nyx ~ Alekto, Megaera, and Tisiphone ~ otherwise known as the furies ~ were created to judge and punish mankind for the most heinous of crimes: murder. When the sisters threaten to destroy all of humanity after their purpose is hindered by Zeus himself, the goddess Athena charges them with the protection of justice instead, and throughout the ages they do just that. Blending in with mortals, they are successful in solving terrible crimes through the centuries, bringing the worst of humanity to justice. That is, until the autumn of 1888, London. A vicious butcher is terrorizing the Whitechapel district, and it will take all of the Furies' experience and cunning to stop the murderer ~ the notorious Jack the Ripper ~ to get retribution for the poor souls he slaughtered.
