Doctor Moreau and the Chocolate Factory

By David Wallace

Magic has been weaponised. Now Britain's living landscape is fighting back.

Detective Sergeant Barb Crowley knows her nightmare isn't just a dream - it's a warning. Britain's waterways are turning toxic, its ley lines buckling, and the catastrophe she fears may already be underway.

A routine patrol in a West London shopping centre uncovers a decomposing body, contaminated waste, and an occult sigil tied to a covert research programme. Someone is fusing sorcery with biology - and the first living weapons are already loose.

The investigation drags the Metropolitan Police Magical Enforcement Taskforce (MET) through abandoned military sites, secret laboratories, and institutions desperate to bury the truth. The creatures they encounter aren't accidents. They're prototypes - pre-production soldiers in a supernatural army being engineered by an elusive scientist serving a demon whose ambitions stretch far beyond a single crime.

As the case turns personal, three MET officers discover the conspiracy was built from what others stole from them.

Lydia Spaulding's childhood trauma may be the key to controlling the creatures.Izzy Dickson's ability to consume magic could save the team - or it might just annihilate her.And Barb's bond with Britain's wounded ley lines may be the country's last defence against ecological collapse.

To stop the programme, they must confront the nature of power itself: whether it's imposed, inherited - or chosen.

A thrilling, character-driven supernatural police procedural laced with dark humour - an urban-fantasy tale of stolen magic, wounded landscapes, and the fierce loyalty of found family.
