Brimstone

December 1940. London. Christopher Larkham finds an ancient Roman ring inscribed with a phoenix on the banks of the Thames. Taking shelter from the firestorm of the Blitz, the ring glows - and he finds himself in 1666, facing the greatest fire London has ever known. Fire and brimstone preacher, Brother Blowbladder, and his men of the Righteous Temple have prayed for the ancient gods of fire to bring flames down upon London, a city of sin. Could Christopher be their messenger? Or was it the strange girl on the quay who drew him back in time? Why do the Righteous men wear the same phoenix symbol as the engraving on Christopher's ring?
