About the book: year / This is a novel about Keith Marlowe and Will Shakespeare. Yes, yes, you read that right. The same William Shakespeare and Christopher Marlowe - the genius and his predecessor, rivals, co-authors, and maybe even lovers? Life in Elizabethan London is not safe, especially for poets and spies. And nothing good will come of it if you don’t learn to love, forgive, and most importantly, trust each other..
