Ebook: Quijote y Yo: Y El Teatro Asesino, Book Three in the Intermediate Mid "Asesinas" Trilogy

TO ENGLAND! ANTONIA AND FRIENDS DASH TO THE GLOBE THEATER’S INAUGURATION, FEATURING SHAKESPEARE’S ROMEO AND JULIET. OH BRILLIANT MAN, TO HAVE CREATED SUCH MASTERPIECES ALONE! BUT...DID HE? AS THEY BEFRIEND HIS FAMILY, IT’S OBVIOUS THEY’RE INVOLVED IN THE WRITING, DESPITE BEING...ILLITERATE!?!  

OH NO...SHAKESPEARE IS RUINED! HIS BEST COMEDIC ACTOR JUST DROPPED DEAD. HEY, NO PROBLEM. TURNS OUT ANTONIETA CAN ACT—REALLY WELL. EXCEPT, WOMEN AREN’T ALLOWED TO ACT, WRITE, OR READ IN ENGLAND—DEFY THIS AND YOUR HEAD COULD DECORATE THE LONDON BRIDGE. THIS IS WHY SHAKESPEARE HAS NEVER CREDITED HIS FEMALE FAMILY MEMBERS IN THE WRITING. HE DIDN’T CREDIT THE MALE PLAYWRIGHTS WHO HELPED HIM BECAUSE THEIR CATHOLIC AND/OR HERETICAL TENDENCIES HAVE THE ARCHBISHOP DESPERATE FOR THEIR HEADS TOO.   

THANKFULLY, ONE OF SHAKESPEARE’S PAST ACTORS—WILL KEMPE—SAVES THE DAY—BUT IS THAT WHISKY IN HIS BOTTLE? WHEN KEMPE FAILS ON STAGE, ANTONIETA WINS EVERYONE OVER, BUT AT WHAT COST? HER LIFE IS NOW IN DANGER, BUT IT’S NOT ROYALTY PURSUING HER—AND IT HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH HER GENETIC CONDITION—BUT RATHER HER TALENT.  

AS ANTONIA AND HER FRIENDS SAVOUR THE UNEXPECTED DELIGHT OF STAYING IN SHAKESPEARE’S HOME, THEY BECOME ENMESHED IN A WEB OF BUDDING FRIENDSHIPS AND COMPLICATIONS THEY COULD NEVER HAVE FORESEEN, INCLUDING AN INTRIGUE ABOUT THE SUCCESSION TO THE BRITISH THRONE. WHEN ACTORS ABOUND—AND NOT JUST ON STAGE—FAME IS FICKLE, LOYALTY IS LAX AND ANYTHING GOES TO GET BACK ON TOP OR STAY THERE...COURAGE BECOMES...HARD TO MUSTER. TO WHAT ENDS WILL ANTONIA AND HER FRIENDS GO TO SAVE THEIR NEW FRIEND, AND WILL SANSON’S BUDDING FEELINGS FOR HER HELP OR HINDER?
