<p>London.</p><p>December 1688.</p><p>'The Glorious Revolution'.</p><p><strong>Fact</strong>: Fifteen days of turmoil.</p><p><strong>Fact</strong>: Upstart media. Viral messaging. Mass hysteria.</p><p><strong>Fact</strong>: A king with a drug problem. A mob with a plan. A temporary junta of rival elites.</p><p><strong>Fact</strong>: Politicians scramble to cover their tracks. Lawyers scratch for precedents. And apothecaries scrap with physicians over how to treat the ailing monarch.</p><p><strong>Fact</strong>: The fate of the first modern coup d'etat hangs on coincidence and the pitiless tides.</p><p>The mob is crushed and wiped from the record. Foreign troops swarm the seat of government at midnight. New media bends the knee.</p><p>The result is squirearchy misogyny and a rampant slave trade.</p><p>Glorious it is not.</p><p>And yet. Unlikely love thrives on chaos.</p>
