This must be one of the most obscure canons I have ever written fic for. Thanks to garonne for reading the book and then the fic for me! <3

The book is from 1927 and is about the daughter of a seditious printer in 1687. We follow her various adventures, where she meets an agent who is plotting for the Glorious Revolution, finds some well-off distant family members who may be able to help her--or will they?, is framed for murder, saves a man from witchcraft, etc. I liked the het romance in it which builds trust and partnership well, but annoyingly the book omitted the payoff for it! Let me know in comments if you're interested in reading it (it's very difficult to get hold of as a physical copy and no ebook exists).

This sounds great!

It is! I wanted to read it from first hearing the description, and I'm glad I managed to track it down.

I am so glad this fic exists (and to have discovered this book!)
