Publisher's summary[]
River Song has been imprisoned in the Stormcage, facing multiple life sentences for the Doctor's assassination... or, at least, she was. Now, time is collapsing, and River is unexpectedly marooned in Tudor England, 1536 - with a mysterious alien companion, Dust.
Someone, or something, has broken history: the distortions centring on the court of King Henry VIII. River must find the culprit, and fix the damage, before it's too late. But some players, for whom established history does not end happily, may have other ideas...
