❝ Enola Holmes - she didn’t think she would ever forgive her mother for that name; honestly, who thought it was a good idea to name their daughter after the world alone? - was just as good a detective as her older brothers. However, due to various circumstances beyond her control (being a woman, being a young woman, never quite fitting in among the high society Mycroft kept attempting to make her a part of), she was not nearly as respected as them. Rejected from every attempt she had made at becoming a consulting detective at Scotland Yard alongside Sherlock, Enola was relegated to running her own small detective firm in in the heart of London, helping to locate missing cats or deducing whether the husbands of ancient society ladies where frequenting brothels or not.

It was far from the worst existence, all things considered; most of her clients payed rather well, and she was not scrutinized by London society the way Mycroft and Sherlock were. But still, Enola was all the time craving more - to be recognized for her deduction skills the way her brothers were, to partake in some grand adventure that would finally force her family to look at her with some amount of pride. But with the way things had been for quite some time, that did not seem likely, and so she attempted to force herself to be content with her life the way it was, deducing on behalf of fussy old wealthy ladies and remaining as alone as her name suggested.

But all that changed when Enola was contacted by a mysterious representative of Her Majesty’s government. The agent, who called himself only M, informed her that a shadowy, dangerous man who called himself the Fantom was attempting to start a world war by selling off his advanced weapons, and that a team made up of remarkable and skilled individuals, including Enola, was to be assembled in order to combat the threat. (He also told her that he had attempted to contact both of her brothers before her and that the only reason he was choosing her to be part of the team was because they had both had other engagements, but Enola studiously tryed to ignore how much that stung.)

M’s offer is the very thing Enola has been waiting for, a chance to go on an adventure and use her skills to do some good for the world, but upon meeting the other members of this so-called “League of Extraordinary Gentlemen,” she quickly realizes that the team is nothing like what she expected. Skinner is endlessly aggravating and refuses to take anything seriously, Quartermain is much too skeptical of having Enola and Miss Mina Harker as part of the group, and there is something about the immortal Dorian Gray that she does not quite trust. The only ones who does not unsettle Enola or make her wish to rip out her hair are Doctor Henry Jekyll, a terribly nervous man who shares his body with an entire other, decidedly more gruff, man, and Tom Sawyer, an American with awful shooting technique who smiles at Enola in a way she has never been smiled at before.

Given everything, Enola is not entirely sure that this merry band of misfits will actually be able to stop the Fantom’s plans and prevent a war. But as their journey continues and she begins to form her own special bonds with each League member, Enola is sure of one thing: even if they cannot defeat the Fantom, even if the unease she feels around Gray is proven right, even if she truly never becomes recognized the way her brothers are (even if she makes a mess of this sweet, delicate thing brewing between her and Sawyer, which she suspects she will)…

She is a member of the League of Extraordinary Gentlemen. She has found her own form of a dysfunctional, squabbling, chaos-filled family. And that means that, no matter the meaning of her name, she is not alone anymore. ❞
