Book Summary
On the heels of Hell and Earth…
Kit
Marley, playwright and spy in the service of Queen
Elizabeth, has been murdered. His true gift to Her Majesty
was his way with words, crafting plays infused with a subtle
magic that maintained her rule. He performed this task on
behalf of the Prometheus Club, a secret society of nobles
engaged in battle against sorcerers determined to destroy
England. Assuming Marley’s role is William Shakespeare— but
he is unable to create the magic needed to hold the Queen’s
enemies at bay.
Resurrected by enchantment in
Faerie, Marley is England’s only hope. But before he can
assist Will in the art of magic, he must uncover the traitor
among the Prometheans responsible for his death…
