'There were many staff at Kensington Palace, fulfilling many roles; a manwho was employed to catch rats, another whose job it was to sweep thechimneys. That there was someone expected to hunt Demons did not shock thenew Queen; that it was to be her was something of a surprise.' London,1838.

Because if Britain is about to becomethe greatest power of the age, there's the small matter of the demons totake care of first...But rather than dreaming of demon hunting, it isPrince Albert who occupies her thoughts. Can she dedicate her life tosaving her country when her heart belongs elsewhere? With lashings ofglistening entrails, decapitations, and foul demons, this masterly newportrait will give a fresh understanding of a remarkable woman, alegendary monarch, and quite possibly the best Demon Hunter the world hasever seen ...A E Moorat weaves a seamlessly lurid tapestry of royalbiography, gothic horror and fist-gnawing comedy as he lifts the veil onwhat really took place on the dark and cobbled streets of 19th-centuryEngland.
