Learn moreXena and Xander Holmes are back . . . and so is a mysterious beast from Sherlock’s casebook!

Sherlock Holmes, Xena and Xander’s famous ancestor, investigated the case of a horrible beast in Blackslope, but that was nearly a hundred years ago. It couldn’t be the same creature after all this time—or could it?
