The Cain Saga, Vol. 4 (Part 1)

Description

Earl Cain Hargreaves investigates the macabre mysteries that haunt eighteenth-century London in this chilling prequel to Godchild! Delve into the tortured past of Earl Cain C. Hargreaves, charismatic heir to a wealthy family full of secrets, lies and unthinkable crimes. The prequel to the Godchild series, The Cain Saga follows the young Cain as he attempts to unravel the secrets of his birth, all the while solving each new mystery that comes his way. Kaori Yuki's latest installment of The Cain Saga introduces Gilbert, the madman son of Lord Lauderdale; Meridiana, a clairvoyant mystery woman; and something--or someone--nasty suspended in midair in Dr. Disraeli's lab. Plus, an arranged marriage meant to curb Cain's bad behavior turns ugly when the bride, Emeline, has an unhappy meeting with none other than Jack the Ripper.

Kaori Yuki was born in Tokyo and started drawing at a very early age. Following her debut work, Natsufuku no Erie (Ellie in Summer Clothes), in the Japanese magazine Bessatsu Hana to Yume, she wrote a compelling series of short stories: Zankoku na Douwatachi (Cruel Fairy Tales), Neji (Screw), and Sareki Okoku (Gravel Kingdom).
