An English Barrister's wife should be faithful and subservient to her husband, even as the Edwardian Age replaces the Victorian and loosens the strangling ties of modern culture. But she finds herself facing the might of His Majesty's Government along with her own doom. With her husband arrested and her station destroyed, she must become something new, and like a phoenix, rise from the ashes. Join her as she becomes Holly Breckenridge and seeks her place in a world turning upside down as the Twentieth Century unfurls.
