The Fellowship of the Frog

A shadowy organization known only as the Frogs has long floated through society’s peripheral gossip, dismissed as eccentric harmlessness until a series of brutal attacks shatter that illusion. When prosperous hardware magnate James G. Bliss is savagely assaulted on his country estate, he can only whisper the word “frog” before slipping back into unconsciousness. The inexplicable violence spreads, targeting seemingly insignificant figures and igniting a wave of fear that forces ordinary citizens to arm themselves against an unseen menace.

Soon, journalists, investigators, and a few determined outsiders begin to pry into the Frogs’ murky rituals and hidden hierarchy, uncovering a network that may wield far more influence than its name suggests. As clues surface—cryptic references to a “left arm,” secret meetings in mist‑shrouded woods, and a past crime involving a massive heist—the mystery deepens, promising a tense chase through London’s foggy streets and the tangled world of clandestine power.
