It was a new and brave Britain under the New Management at that time. The kindhearted prime minister was an ancient eldritch god with possession of extremely strong and unimaginable powers. Crime at the place was plummeting as every proven offense was kind of punishable by death. Everywhere you look there will be people with many strange powers. A few of them were the ones that you cannot control, while some, were not that much.
Eve Starkey was hyper-organized and extremely formidable. She also defeated her boss who was the billionaire and louche magical adept Rupert de Montfort Bigge.
