To make matters worse, a vengeful, but complex Thomas Quiney plots to tear down all that Shakespeare holds dear and raise himself up in its place. Shakespeare must confront the mistakes of his past, or risk losing what's left of his future.The volume also includes an Afterword essay by the author that explores the connections between Shakespeare's family and his work that Stewart discovered during his "Year of Shakespeare."

C.S. "Jack" Lewis: accomplished author, famed creator of fantasy worlds, and the 20th Century's most eloquent defender of Christianity. Little do most people know that he was once an entrenched atheist.

Tolkien and a god who hunts his soul relentlessly. Yet the worth of that soul is manifest in a struggle that will create a legendary legacy. The volume also includes Stewart's speech about C.S. Lewis: "It is the Myth That Gives Life."
