Kill Shakespeare Volume 2: The Blast of War
Hamlet is banished from Denmark, still grieving the death of his father. After pirates attack his ship, he washes ashore on the mysterious land of Illyria. There, he is discovered by Richard III and Lady MacBeth, who offers the Dane an impossible bargain: track down and kill an evil wizard the to retrieve a source of power that Lady MacBeth can use to bring Hamlet’s father back from the dead.
The name of that wizard? William Shakespeare.
Hamlet embarks on the quest, only to discover that Richard may not be what he seems, and that the Prodigals, a group of rebels led by a young woman named Juliet (working alongside Othello, Falstaff and others), might be freedom fighters. Hamlet quickly finds himself in the midst of a battle where his decision to kill or not to kill Shakespeare will determine not only the future of Illyria but of all of existence.
Combining action, fantasy, violence, romance, lust, magic, double-crossing and cross-dressing, it’s a whole new way of looking at Shakespeare and his characters.
And so the curtain falls... Hamlet, Juliet, and Shakespeare all facing death! Can Othello rally the Prodigals to defeat Richard and Lady Macbeth’s now-fractured army? But even if he does, will anyone be left alive to celebrate victory?
