Pitch Black

It had been a year since the horrific carriage accident that took the life of Elizabeth, Ciel's betrothed and her maid, Paula. No longer with a future wife, nor a childhood friend, Ciel throws himself into his work for the Queen and managing his family businesses.

One fateful day, a letter from the Queen arrives and Ciel finds himself backed into a corner, no longer able to hide from his fate.

The Queen has chosen a new bride for him--and she is one hell of a woman.
