Black Butler II

Black Butler II shifts the spotlight to Alois Trancy, the volatile young earl of the Trancy estate. Although he now lives in luxury, his past is marked by abduction and years of forced servitude, followed by a return home that ends in further loss when his father dies soon after.

Doubts linger around Alois’ account and even his claim to the earldom—and with good reason. The Trancy manor is steeped in secrets, beginning with Claude Faustus, Alois’ impeccably dressed butler whose abilities defy the ordinary. As suspicion and deception tighten their grip on the household, the true nature of Claude’s connection to Alois comes into question, and their uneasy bond is pushed to its limits when something far darker draws near.
