Then bizarre things start happening…a Royal accident imperils the succession and fiery violence rocks London, mimicking Pepys’s chronicles of seventeenth-century England.

Soon Alex begins to suspect that the diaries may not have been penned by Pepys after all - but by someone whose shocking actions may have altered the course of history…." (from the cover)
