Just a stone's throw from London lies the manor house of the illustrious Phantomhive earldom, its master one Ciel Phantomhive. Earl Phantomhive is a giant in the world of commerce, Queen Victoria's faithful servant . . . and a slip of a twelve-year-old boy. Fortunately, his loyal butler, Sebastian, is always at his side, ready to fulfill the young master's wishes. Whether Sebastian is called to save a dinner party gone awry or probe the dark secrets of London's underbelly, there is practically nothing Sebastian cannot do. One might even say Sebastian is too good to be true . . . or at least, he is too good to be human.
