Set in a fictional European republic in the years leading up to World War One, The Kingmaker Histories follows an assistant tailor named Colette who becomes the unwitting host for a deadly alien power source- the Kingmaker Diamond. Hunted by a host of enemies who wish to use her powers for their own gain, Colette's only hope is to join up with a pair of career criminals and embark on a bizarre road trip, smuggling and thieving across Belle Epoque Europe as she seeks to get rid of her lethal new head-mate.

A comedic adventure that is half fantasy and half crime caper, the Kingmaker Histories is a show about living through interesting times without losing your head.

 Created and developed by the team behind the audioverse award-winning Less is Morgue, THE KINGMAKER HISTORIES is a steampunk fantasy adventure about three petty criminals swept up into a magical power struggle for the future of their post-revolutionary home country.

It combines the criminal hijinks of Leverage with the fantastical intrigue of Shadow and Bone, and the dark, absurdist comedy of A Series of Unfortunate Events.
