What Was Life Like in Stuart London?

London, 1695. Dorothy sells wigs on Ratcliffe Highway, a sailors' street in the east of the city. Her husband went to sea two years ago.
Half a world away, Henry Every waits at the mouth of the Red Sea with five more pirate ships and some 440 men, and the richest ship of the Mughal emperor is sailing straight toward them.
One raid will shake an empire, turn the East India Company into the emperor's coast guard and start the first manhunt to cover the whole world. And back in London, Dorothy knows none of this.
