1700, London: a city so crowded and unregulated that anyone, should they so desire, could slip away- disappear down a back street and become someone else.
After the death of her father, 17-year-old Aurora Eversedge is left without a dowry and agrees to marry a much older man, who claims to be wealthy, though in poor health. On their wedding night, Edward Francis confesses that, in fact, he is penniless but his health is robust- also that his proposal of marriage carried an ulterior motive: he wants Aurora to act as a spy for him.
