Deep in the research wing of London's Natural History Museum is a prize specimen, something that comes along much less often than once in a lifetime: a perfect, and perfectly preserved, giant squid. But what does it mean when this creature — the kraken — suddenly and impossibly disappears? For curator Billy Harrow it's the start of a headlong pitch into a London awash in secret currents of myth and magic — a weird metropolis where competing cults, cops and criminals, wizard and assassins, are locked in a war with unimaginable consequences. For the magnificent missing sea beast may be more than just a biological rarity. There are those who are sure it's a god. A god that someone is hoping will end the world.
