William Shakespeare is one of the greatest storytellers in history—if not the greatest of all time. His own life is full of tales even more unbelievable than those in his fiction, but the Bard should have known not to provoke the wrath of John Dee. Now, that lost story is told... When William Shakespeare steals Dee’s scrying mirror, the enraged Magician unleashes a host of creatures to retrieve it, including feral cucubuths. Shakespeare and one of the actors in his troupe will stand against the monsters in the newly built Globe Theatre. But this is no ordinary actor: this is Palamedes, the Saracen Knight.
