Description

Shakespeare's Witches tell Banquo, "Thou Shalt 'Get Kings Though Thou Be None". Though Banquo is murdered, his son Fleance gets away. What happened to Fleance? What Kings? As Shakespeare's audience apparently knew, Banquo was the ancestor of the royal Stewart line. But the road to kingship had a most inauspicious beginning, and we follow Fleance into exile and death, bestowing the Witches' prophecy on his illegitimate son Walter. Born in Wales and raised in disgrace, Walter's efforts to understand Banquo's murder and honor his lineage take him on a long and treacherous journey through England and France before facing his destiny in Scotland.

Reviews

Great as a standalone book, or even better as part two of a grander whole, this is the rare sequel that easily outperforms its predecessor in just about any way you can name, and it comes with a highly enthusiastic recommendation. - Chicago Center for Literature and Photography Collin Kelley ditches the guidebooks and takes us on a thrill ride tour through the seedy underside of Paris. Fraud, squalor, prostitution, the illegal drug trade and characters that crackle with life - it's all here. Remain in Light is a first class suspense novel. - Grant Jerkins, author of A Very Simple Crime and At The End of the Road
