As London grieves the death of the last great poet Alfred Tennyson, all the characters are scattered around the world. A distraught Vanessa fights a severe depression with the help of an alienist; Frankenstein seeks redemption with the aid of Dr. Henry Jekyll; Sir Malcolm meets a mysterious man in Zanzibar; Ethan Chandler is escorted home to his father, with Hecate in tow; and the Creature stranded in the Arctic sets on a journey after his past memories re-appear. A new threat hangs over London in the form of Count Dracula.
