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

Primarily written for women, Darcy's life's work follows the daughters, wives and mistresses whose lives, loves and ambitions are shaped by the desires, ambitions and indiscretions of the age's most powerful 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.

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.
