If you enjoy Bridgerton or Jane Austen, this is what really went on. Behind the balls and fine houses lay a world of scandal, espionage, seduction and political intrigue.

Told in a fast-read, cinematic historical-fiction format, Darcy covers events in a way history ignores.

Not from the sweeping panoramas of revolution and battle, instead Darcy brings us the intimate settings.

The spy brothels and safe houses of Paris, the deep, dark orlop deck of HMS Victory, the field hospitals of Spain and Waterloo, these are Darcy’s settings where women worked alongside surgeons to save their men.

Uniquely revealing a female history, Darcy follows the daughters, wives and mistresses whose lives, loves and ambitions are shaped by the desires and indiscretions of the age's most influential men.

Woven through their stories is a former Royal Marine, Admiralty spy and notorious ladies' man.

Major Miles Vane is Darcy's espionage conduit between London and Paris during the age of revolution and empire, when the ambitions of one dangerous man threatens the world.

His young son, also named Miles, is a problem. Milo inherits much of his fathers talents, which the Admiralty is determined to exploit.

From Moscow to New York, the series ranges across continents with a torrent of intrigue, romance, deceit and debauchery flowing through palaces and brothels in the steamy sewers of history.

London's Somerset House is central, home to both the Navy Board—long notorious for patronage and corruption—and the Royal Academy, whose Summer Exhibition draws the fashionable world, much as the Salon Carré at the Louvre captivates Paris. Between power and celebrity, politics and art, Darcy Blaze finds his stories.

History salutes emperors, generals, admirals and kings.

Darcy Blaze salutes the women who endured the follies of men.
