==Synopsis==
===Chapter 1===
Young thief Lucifer is arrested in connection with a gruesome double murder. When the real perpetrator, the enigmatic Gray Man, comes in search of her, he slaughters all of the officers at the station, although Lucifer is able to shield herself from him through the use of protective wards.
===Chapter 2===
Sheriff Raymond Dirk, who had been investigating the murder during the time of the Gray Man's attack, returns to the station and confronts the creature. Although injured during the ensuing showdown, he is saved by Lucifer's wards.
Later, after breaking the girl out of jail, she begins to tell him the nature of the threat facing Arkham. Under her direction, he enters the Dreamlands and meets with the Harlot.
===Chapter 3===
After trading with the Harlot for information on how to save Arkham, Sheriff Dirk returns to the waking world, where he and Lucifer break into the Arkham Boarding House and steal the Gray Man's dagger, which had been in the possession of Mr. Arkham. Despite a run-in with both Mr. Gray and Gnruk, the two make good their escape and set of in search of an artefact with which to defeat their enemy.
===Chapter 4===
At the remote hiding place where Lucifer has stashed her secret weapon, she and Sheriff Dirk face off against a group of Cthulhu cultists who have tracked them down. Defeating the cultists, they are confronted by the Gray Man, who retrieves his knife from them, but is subsequently trapped in Lucifer's stolen artefact - one of the Harlot's boxes, from which there is no escape, even for a being of his power.
The story concludes with Lucifer leaving Arkham to prepare for the coming Godwar.
