1862: Albertian Britain is in the grip of conflicting forces.
Engineers transform the landscape with bigger, faster, noisier and dirtier technological wonders; Eugenicists develop specialist animals to provide unpaid labour; Libertines oppose restrictive and unjust laws and flood the country with propaganda demanding a society based on beauty and creativity; while The Rakes push the boundaries of human behaviour to the limits with magic, sexuality, drugs and anarchy.
“Sir Richard Francis Burton and poet Algernon Swinburne’s investigation into a theft of black diamonds, ultimately embroiling them in the affairs of a dubious claimant, supposedly the heir of a cursed estate...is deliciously entertaining.” -- Steampunk Scholar

Condition: Como nuevo. : En el Londres de 1862, Sir Richard Francis Burton, agente del rey, descubre que el tiempo ha sido alterado y el mundo se dirige por un rumbo diferente al que el destino tenía previsto. Cuando un hombre de latón impulsado por un mecanismo de relojería es encontrado abandonado en Trafalgar Square, Burton y su asistente, el poeta Algernon Swinburne, siguen la pista de la Colección Garnier robada, diamantes negros que se rumorea son fragmentos del Ojo de Lemuria de Naga, un meteorito que cayó a la Tierra en tiempos prehistóricos. La investigación los lleva a involucrarse con el fenómeno mediático de la época: el Demandante de Tichborne, un hombre que insiste en ser el heredero perdido de la maldita finca de Tichborne. En medio del caos, Burton y Swinburne sospechan que alguien está tramando algo.
