## Description

Poet and detective Gabriel Syme is recruited into a secret anti-anarchist police force at Scotland Yard. His mission: infiltrate the Central Anarchist Council, a mysterious organization comprised of seven men, each named after a day of the week. Syme, chosen to be "Thursday," soon finds himself immersed in a nightmarish, surreal world where nothing is as it seems. As he delves deeper into the council's plots to destabilize Edwardian London and beyond, Syme discovers that his fellow anarchists might not be genuine revolutionaries, and the lines between order and chaos, hunter and hunted, blur with terrifying speed. What begins as a straightforward assignment morphs into a dizzying chase across Europe, forcing Syme to confront profound questions about identity, authority, and the very nature of evil itself, all under the watchful, enigmatic gaze of the council's ominous leader, Sunday.
