Prospero Lost

“Featuring . . . a rich and wondrous world of the unseen, this is no ordinary urban fantasy, but a treasure trove of nifty ideas and intriguing revelations.” —Publishers Weekly, starred review Miranda, daughter of the magician Prospero from Shakespeare’s The Tempest, lives in the modern age. Upon discovering that her father has gone missing, she must discover the location of her other siblings and convince them to save their father, before the Three Shadowed Ones destroy the Family Prospero. She is accompanied by her company gumshoe, an airy spirit stuck in a body that looks a bit like Humphrey Bogart. “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
