"In the quiet streets of Prague all manner of otherworldly creatures lurk in the shadows. Unbeknownst to its citizens, their only hope against the tide of predators are the dauntless lamplighters--secret elite monster hunters whose light staves off the darkness each night.

Despite this, Domek find solace in his moments spent in the company of his friend, the clever and beautiful Lady Ora Fischerová--a widow with secrets of her own. When Domek finds himself stalked by the spirit of the White Lady--a ghost who haunts the baroque halls of Prague Castle--he stumbles across the sentient essence of a will-o'-the-wisp captured in a mysterious container... After discovering a conspiracy amongst the pijavice that could see them unleash terror on the daylight world, Domek finds himself in a race against those who aim to twist alchemical science for their own dangerous gain"-- Back cover.
