En el Londres de 1862, Sir Richard Francis Burton, agente del rey, descubre que el tiempo ha sido alterado y el mundo se dirige por un rumbo diferente al que el destino tenía previsto. Cuando un hombre de latón impulsado por un mecanismo de relojería es encontrado abandonado en Trafalgar Square, Burton y su asistente, el poeta Algernon Swinburne, siguen la pista de la Colección Garnier robada, diamantes negros que se rumorea son fragmentos del Ojo de Lemuria de Naga, un meteorito que cayó a la Tierra en tiempos prehistóricos. La investigación los lleva a involucrarse con el fenómeno mediático de la época: el Demandante de Tichborne, un hombre que insiste en ser el heredero perdido de la maldita finca de Tichborne. En medio del caos, Burton y Swinburne sospechan que alguien está tramando algo.
