Journal Entry 1 by WistfulDragon from Streatham, Greater London United Kingdom on Sunday, August 3, 2008
"In the troubled year of 1605, Papist plots are rife in the gaudy streets of Shakespeare's Lonodn. Francis Quoynt, Firemanster, is recently returned from Flanders and dreaming of making fireworks rather than war.
Instead, Quoynt is recruited by Robert Cecil, First Minister, to spy on Guido Fawkes and his fellow conspirators. Meanwhile, Sir Francis Bacon is scheming for high position and spying on Quoynt.
Kate Peach, a glove maker, was Quoynt's lover before war took him away. Now living in Southward, she is brought into grave danger. She is a secret Catholic, and a fugitive Jesuit is concealed in her rooms."
