After many years of horror and terror, the Golden Age, an era of peace and prosperity, has arrived in Albion. The country is ruled by Queen Gloriana, whose empire covers most of the known world. Her subjects love her, foreign ambassadors bow before her, but her monstrous past does not let her go, and the ghost of the reign of her father, the mad King Hern, hovers invisibly over the perfect country, poisoning everything around with fear. The fragile balance of the world is maintained by the queen’s chancellor, the creator of a new enlightened era, Lord Monfalcon. He does not yet know that, with just one mistake, he will set in motion a sinister plan that could plunge Albion into chaos and despair, does not suspect that the exquisite web of intrigue and espionage he has woven will soon turn against the state, and his most brilliant spy, Captain Quire , a villain without fear or reproach, will go against his own master. And now everyone is in danger, even the queen herself.
