However, much discussion of the question exists on the very margins of academia, deemed by most Shakespearean academics as unimportant or, indeed, of interest only to conspiracy theorists. Yet, many academics find the Authorship question interesting and worthy of analysis in theoretical and philosophical terms.

For more than two hundred years, the authorship of the works known as the Shakespeare canon has been called into question. Each chapter in this book explores an issue that has not been closely investigated, bringing new depth to the Shakespeare Authorship Question. For example, the man from Stratford -upon-Avon was rich: he owned five houses. Yet he fails to support his wife in her widowhood; all he could bring himself to leave her in his will was his second best bed. In the chapter on his Last Will and Testament, he leaves nothing to the Stratford Grammar School -- something that a local lad who was an important person in London (if the story was true) would surely have done. No school classmate recalled him. No teacher that he might have had remembered him. The Stratford man's daughters were illiterate, as were his wife and his parents. No writer or educated person records meeting him. No one loaned him a book; he makes no mention of books in his will. No one paid tribute to him when he died. In short, there is no hard evidence to show that he even had a cultivated mind or led a cultured life. But if this man from Stratford did not write the great literary masterpieces attributed to him, then who did? When people have searched for a better candidate, they have looked at historical figures with memorable biographies. Edward de Vere, the 17th Earl of Oxford, was forgotten. His name was extracted from the dustbin of history by a Shakespearean profile. De Vere (called "Oxford") was discovered because a few of his short poems survived. There was, according to a 19th century editor, "an atmosphere of graciousness and culture about them that is grateful." About the author, he noted "that somehow a shadow lies across his [Oxford's] memory." As we have learned more about Oxford's unusual life, we find that he fits the Shakespeare profile with startling specificity.

The first book in an epic new series about a princess hiding a dark secret and the con man she must trust to clear her name for her father's murder. In the Cyrilian Empire, Affinites are reviled. Their varied gifts to control the world around them are unnatural—dangerous. And Anastacya Mikhailov, the crown princess, has a terrifying secret. Her deadly Affinity to blood is her curse and the reason she has lived her life hidden behind palace walls. When Ana's father, the emperor, is murdered, her world is shattered. Framed as his killer, Ana must flee the palace to save her life. And to clear her name, she must find her father's murderer on her own. But the Cyrilia beyond the palace walls is far different from the one she thought she knew. Corruption rules the land, and a greater conspiracy is at work—one that threatens the very balance of her world. And there is only one person corrupt enough to help Ana get to its core: Ramson Quicktongue. A cunning crime lord of the Cyrilian underworld, Ramson has sinister plans—though he might have met his match in Ana. Because in this story, the princess might be the most dangerous player of all. “Cinematic storytelling at its best.”—Adrienne Young, New York Times bestselling author of Sky in the Deep and The Girl the Sea Gave Back “Zhao shines in the fast-paced and vivid combat scenes, which lend a cinematic quality that pulls readers in.”—The New York Times Book Review “Zhao is a master writer who weaves a powerful tale of loyalty, honor, and courage through a strong female protagonist. . . .
