When she stumbles upon the Peaky Blinders, Thomas is quick to realize that she is the only woman who can help him take back his throne - for a price.

This does not follow the timeline of the show whatsoever - it was my own AU/rendition where the Blinders exist. Canonically, this storyline would occur between seasons one & two!
