About this eBook

A gal has to look out for herself, after all.


Clara Grey’s parents once said that the world was a dark and dangerous place. There was more truth than fiction in those words. There were things that lurked in the shadows which defied the laws of nature: perversions that fed on the dead, terrorised the living, or escaped the chill touch of the grave.


Clara is a member of the Tower, a religious order of hunters who work outside the confines of the Church. As keepers of the arcane, her order takes an active role in countering such threats. Alas, the life of a hunter can be short, and many go missing before they are ready to serve. So, what does it take to succeed against all odds?


Explore Clara’s origin, a child born before the dawn of the twentieth century. Witness her rigorous education, how she faces adversity, and how she fights in the Great War to become the derringer-wielding flapper she is.


Throughout her tale, keep in mind: No matter the threat, a gal has to look out for herself, after all.

First book I read written by Ms. Chartres, which made me fall in love with Clara and her world. A good set of stories (almost an anthology) of Clara's adventures fighting all that bumps in the night. Recommend for fans of horror, and maybe even for non-horror fans. I'm in the latter camp myself (working into it) and I feel The Van Helsing Paradox may be a good starting point.
