Broken Homes

Apprentice wizard and Police Constable Peter Grant is plunged into a series of perplexing cases across London. It begins with the grisly discovery of a mutilated body in Crawley, leading to a hunt for a potential associate of the sinister Faceless Man, or perhaps just a mundane serial killer. As Peter grapples with this initial investigation, his plate is further burdened by the mysterious death of a town planner under a tube train and the theft of a valuable grimoire. The familiar chaos of London's magical underbelly escalates when Peter is drawn to a peculiar housing estate south of the Thames. This architecturally bizarre, poorly constructed, and desperation-filled community hides secrets that may connect all the disparate incidents. Navigating the treacherous territory of South London, with its notoriously prickly local river spirits, Peter must uncover the links between these seemingly unrelated events before the city's hidden magical and criminal elements cause further devastation.
