    Just a stone's throw from London stands the manor house of the illustrious Phantomhive earldom. Earl Phantomhive is a giant in the world of commerce, Queen Victoria's faithful servant, and a 12-year old boy. Fortunately, his loyal butler Sebastian stands his side, ready to carry out the young master's wishes.

    Whether Sebastian is called to save a dinner party gone awry or probe the dark secrets of London's underbelly, there is practically nothing Sebastian cannot do. One might even say Sebastian is too good to be true, or at least, too good to be human!
