Summary

London, 1815: Two travelers, Rachel Katzman and Liam Finucane, arrive in a field in rural England, disheveled and weighed down with hidden money. Turned away at a nearby inn, they are forced to travel by coach all night to London. They are not what they seem, but rather colleagues who have come back in time from a technologically advanced future, posing as wealthy West Indies planters, a doctor and his spinster sister. While Rachel and Liam aren₂t the first team from the future to 'go back, ' their mission is by far the most audacious: meet, befriend, and steal from Jane Austen herself.
