Longlisted, 2018 International DUBLIN Literary
AwardLong-shortlisted, 2017 ReLit Awards1593. Queen Elizabeth
reigns from the throne while two rival spymasters - Sir Robert
Cecil and the Earl of Essex - plot from the shadows. Their goal? To
control succession upon the aged queen's death. The man on which
their schemes depend? Christopher Marlowe, a cobbler's son from
Canterbury who has defied expectations and become an accomplished
poet and playwright. Now that the plague has closed theatres,
Marlowe must resume the work for which he was originally recruited:
intelligence and espionage. Fighting to stay one step ahead in a
dizzying game that threatens the lives of those he holds most dear,
Marlowe comes to question his allegiances and nearly everything he
once believed. As tensions mount, he is tossed into an impossible
bind. He must choose between paths that lead either to wretched
guilt and miserable death or to love and honour. An historical
novel with a contemporary edge, This Marlowe measures the weight of
the body politic, the torment of the flesh, and the state of the
soul.
