Publisher's summary

A nation divided

A Queen's life at risk

A net of conspiracy closing in...

Sometimes being a time travelling adventurer just isn't easy...

For a start there's a temperamental TARDIS that lands a few thousand years off course in 17th Century Paris. But why shouldn't the Doctor, Peri and their travelling guest Erimem take a look around the city on the morning of King Louis' annual State Ball?

As Peri becomes embroiled in a plot to kill Queen Anne and smash the unity of the Church and the Crown, the Doctor finds himself duelling musketeers on the streets.

With Peri missing, Erimem catching King Louis' eye and a Musketeer's sword at your throat, could things get any worse?

Probably...

Notes

  • Dates based on history: The Church and the Crown must occur in 1626 - Cardinal Richelieu is named Louis XIII's chief minister in 1624 and Richelieu says he was tasks with helping Louis achieve his dream of a united France "two years ago". Also the Doctor says Buckingham will be killed in two years time - he dies in 1628.
