In this alternate history, England is crumbling. The war on the continent is going badly. French troops have cornered Wellington in Northern Europe. And Lord Castlereagh’s men are engaged in a desperate hunt for the Prince Regent, who has been wounded and abducted by Napoleon and his ruthless leader of the Iron Crown, known as Ghost.
