Prospero in Hell, Prospero's Children

Inspired by Shakespeare, this “epic” sequel’s “rich imagery, fast pace, and masterful use of mythology make this a real page-turner” (Publishers Weekly, starred review).

Miranda has gathered her siblings and convinced them that their father, the magician Prospero, from Shakespeare’s The Tempest, truly needs rescuing. But there are traitors among them. And even if they survive, can they possibly rescue their father from the place he has been taken?

Praise for Prospero Lost:

“Lamplighter plays fast and loose with Shakespeare in this modern day fantasy filled with homages to both the Bard and John Milton.” —Library Journal

“This edgy postmodern Secret History straddles urban fantasy and slipstream while effortlessly ringing the changes on classic SF tropes. Lamplighter is a writer to watch.” —James Mallory, bestselling co-author of The Phoenix Endangered

“A truly original take on Shakespeare’s The Tempest. Should appeal to fans of Zelazny’s Chronicles of Amber series.” —Kage Baker, author of In the Garden of Iden

“You hold in your hand a book of wonders.” —John C. Wright, author of Orphans of Chaos
