More DescriptionTagline: Time waits for no one. Except her.Racing through days that seem to have no end, Lady Seramis Helleborine would have done anything to speed up her perception of the passage of time. Forced to hide her unique ability from the rest of the court of King George II, her quick and agile intellect still made her one of the most brilliant minds of the early Eighteenth Century. But when a desperate attempt to uncover the secret of her abilities results in disaster, the manipulative Lord De La Warr arrested Lady Seramis on charges of witchcraft, and forced her to spy on England's enemies in both the Old and New World. De La Warr already had in his employ an assassin that will become Lady Seramis's greatest nemesis. Fueled by his jealousy and a warped sense of destiny bestowed by mysterious beings who use him for their own purposes, the spy adopted the self-styled title, Father Time, and set in motion a plot that would devastate the entire planet in its wake. Of course, Father Time hadn't counted on opposition from the most original scientific mind of the age, as Lady Seramis pursues him across the globe attempting to save the world in her improbable airship, the "Agility of Clouds."
