Synopsis
In the heart of Elizabethan England, young Richard Shakespeare dreams of a glittering career in the London playhouses, a world dominated by his older brother, William.
But when Richard's onetime gratitude begins to sour, so does his family loyalty. Then a priceless manuscript goes missing and Richard falls under suspicion, forced into a high-stakes game of duplicity and betrayal through the darkest alleyways of the city.

"Story and characters crackle off the page as do the stink and violence of Elizabethan London. The author of The Last Kingdom bestsellers has pulled off a surprise for his readers - and a terrific one at that"- Daily Mail
