From the back:
Kit Marley, poet, playwright, and spy in the service of Queen Elizabeth, has been murdered. His poetry and plays were infused with a subtle magic that maintained her rule, and the Prometheus Club—a secret society of nobles engaged in battle against sorcerers determined to destroy England—has chosen William Shakespeare to assume Marley's role. But Shakespeare is unable to create the magic his queen and country need to hold their enemies at bay.
England's only hope resides in Faerie. Kit Marley, resurrected by enchantment, must serve Queen Morgan. Caught between two worlds and two allegiances, Kit knows that the only way to save both is to assist Will in the art of magic...and to reveal the traitor within the Prometheus Club responsible for his death.
May require small amount of extra shipping due to thickness of book.

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…
