Five original tales drawn from the final days of empire - moments history never bothered to record. A letter written in ash as Vesuvius buries Pompeii. The last Plantagenet winter before the dynasty falls. The lighthouse keeper at Alexandria on the night the library is lost. The widow who watches Cahokia empty. And Portia, the morning after Shakespeare's verdict is read. These are the voices between the footnotes: the wife, the librarian, the mother, the servant, the witness. People who lived through history's collapses without being named in them. A 24,000-word collection of short historical fiction from HistoryBookTales Originals. Contents
