Prospero Regained

by L. Jagi Lamplighter

In this “richly imagined . . . final installment of a trilogy, the centuries-old children of The Tempest magician Prospero undergo a . . . voyage across Hell” (Kirkus Reviews).   Prospero, the sorcerer on whose island of exile William Shakespeare set his play, The Tempest, has endured these past many centuries. His daughter Miranda runs the family business, Prospero, Inc. so smoothly that the vast majority of humanity has no idea that the Prosperos’ magic has protected Earth from numerous disasters. But Prospero himself has been kidnapped by demons from Hell, and Miranda, aided by her siblings, has followed her father into Hell to save him from a certain doom at the hands of vengeful demons. Time is running out for Miranda, and for the great magician himself. Their battle against the most terrifying forces of the Pit is a great fantasy adventure.   “A satisfyingly epic combination of mythology, theology and Shakespeare . . . Lamplighter keenly examines the complex, intertwined natures of redemption, forgiveness, and faith as represented by the intricate bonds of love and family, externalizing them through memorable representations of Heaven, Hell, and Faerie.” —Publishers Weekl
