Everyone knows about Nostradamus.
No one knows about Philibert Montmorency.
One's a legend. The other... not so much.
Marseille, 1561

Like the majority of people living in sixteenth century France, Philibert Montmorency is a peasant. Unlike most people, he's pretending not to be one. Philibert is a conman, but a chance meeting with Nostradamus in a Marseille prison convinces him that being a prophet might be a better career move.

Lyon, Modern Day

Dr Ally Oldfield, renowned professor of medieval languages, has been summoned to Lyon to authenticate a newly discovered prophecy. She's not happy about it but then again, she's not happy about most things. As an expert in Nostradamus's work, she's convinced the new quatrain is a fake even if the evidence suggests it was written four hundred years ago. When the events it predicts become reality, Ally finds herself in a race against time to prove it's a fraud.

As society breaks down fearing the end of the world, Ally must use the clues scattered through Lyon's Renaissance history to work out who wrote the prophecy and why somebody else is responsible for the global chaos, but when Ally is framed for the murder of a rival historian she's forced to rely on Gabrielle, a ditsy millennial prepper, and Antoine, a secretive aristocrat, to help her solve the mystery and save the world.

'The End of the World in Nigh' is book one in the 'Ally Oldfield' series. If you love historical thrillers with 'crushingly dark humour,' surprising twists and a strong female heroine then the prophecies predict you'll love Tony Moyle's compelling page-turner.
