The two of them must work together to escape Sebastian's execution and find out who really killed Katherine.

As Eli Ashley was busy investigating the murder of his ancestor, Sebastian was discovering sriracha for the first time. The food at Lady Katherine Hall was as abundant as it had been in 1873, although as a servant, Sebastian hadn't gotten to taste much of the finer offerings. Food in 2023, however, was an entirely different story. So many textures and flavors and colors, he marveled. Though he wouldn’t have minded living out the remainder of his life adding sriracha to various types of noodles and generally emptying out Lady Katherine Hall’s kitchen cabinets, he knew he must have been sent here for a reason. Besides, there remained the question of what would happen once he’d been executed. Even if Eli happened to be in his body at the time, who knew what effect it would have on Sebastian.
