"While searching for Ran-Mao, Mey-Rin's successfully uncovered the covert operation in Baron Heathfield's manor--but an unforeseen hurdle stands in the way of a job well done.

"The truth of what happened three years ago comes to light, as the past Ciel sought to erase is thrust back into his face. The revelations shake the Phantomhive manor to its foundations, and even Sebastian, the resident devil, can only look on in admiration at the consummate gamesmanship at play. The Phantomhive blood, it would seem, runs thick with the thirst for vengeance"--Back cover.

"The queen's watchdog has become a fugitive, and the 'true' Earl of Phantomhive has taken up residence in the manor.

"In the heart of London stands Sphere Music Hall, a venue that enjoys immense popularity amongst the populace. However, the fervour with which its visitors return causes consternation in the mind of Her Majesty, Queen Victoria. Suspecting the organisation of cult practices, she sends Earl Ciel Phantomhive and his impeccable butler, Sebastian, to infiltrate the hall. There, they are met with none other than the disgraced erstwhile prefects of Weston College and an otherworldy fortune-teller called Blavat, who takes one look at Sebastian and divines his true nature in the blink of an eye...!"--Back cover.

"While Earl Ciel Phantomhive, accompanied by his indomitable butler, Sebastian is away on the trail of his quarry, Blavat, the sound of gunshots rends the silence of his London town house. A scene of carnage awaits master and servant upon their return, along with a chilling message from the forgotten past that shakes the young Earl to his core ..."-- Back cover.

"Sphere Music Hall, with its elaborate entertainments, has the denizens of London under its spell and at the mercy of its resident cult's nefarious motives. To snap the populace out of the trance, Earl Ciel Phantomhive and his unparalleled butler Sebastian get down to business...literally! The young earl takes the fight right to the enemy's door by opening a music hall of his own.

But the unbridled passion it inspires gives Queen Victoria cause for concern, and she urges Earl Ciel Phantomhive and his expert butler, Sebastian, to do some digging. Ciel has his own reasons for taking this lot to task, but the discovery of the cult's penchant for blood means the Queen's Watchdog must take swift action. When Sebastian goes probing behind the stage and into the shadows, however, he is met by a girl standing in his way, glinting sword at the ready..."--Back cover.
