Description

Richard Shakespeare's glittering career in London's playhouses is threatened by his older brother William's dominance. As a penniless actor with a silver tongue, Richard's gratitude turns to resentment, straining family loyalty. When a priceless manuscript goes missing, Richard finds himself entangled in a high-stakes game of duplicity and betrayal, navigating the city's darkest alleyways. In this richly portrayed tale, Bernard Cornwell brings Elizabethan London to life with added depth and compassion. The streets, palaces, scandals, and rivalries of 16th-century England are vividly rendered, drawing the reader into a world of intrigue and deception. As Richard navigates the treacherous landscape of his family's past and present, he must confront the true cost of ambition and loyalty in this gripping tour de force.
