When an outbreak of the deadly Black Plague closes the Globe Theatre, William Shakespeare's acting troupe sets off on a tour of England.

Widge, the orphan-turned-actor, knows that he'll be useful on the trip.

Not only does he love the stage, but his knack for a unique shorthand has proven him one of the most valuable apprentices in the troupe.

But then a mysterious man appears, claiming to know a secret from Widge's past-a secret that may forever force him from the theatre he loves.

""An exciting, well-written tale that is sure to leave
