Peter Grant is a young probationary constable with the London Metropolitan Police, struggling to find his place in a career that feels stagnant. However, everything changes when he encounters a ghostly witness at a crime scene. His brush with the supernatural leads him to be recruited by Detective Chief Inspector Thomas Nightingale, the last wizard in England and head of a secret unit of the police that deals with magical crimes. As Peter delves into a mysterious case involving a spectral serial killer and territorial river deities, he begins to unravel the complex web of London's hidden magical world.
