"Just a stone's throw from London lies the manor house of the illustrious Phantomhive earldom and its master, one Ciel Phantomhive. Earl Phantomhive is a giant in the world of commerce, Queen Victoria's faithful servant ... and a slip of a twelve-year-old boy. Fortunately, his loyal butler, Sebastian, is ever at his side, ready to carry out the young master's wishes. And whether Sebastian is called to save a dinner party gone awry or probe the dark...

Ciel Phantomhive and his demonic butler Sebastian board the luxury liner Campania to investigate illegal human experimentation involving resurrecting the dead.

An English butler is the perfect manservant who doesn't allow his own feelings to interfere with his duties, even when he falls in love with the housekeeper or when his father dies.
