Description

With a foreword by Lev Rosen, author of the Evander Mills series and You've Goth My Heart.

‘All that glisters is not gold.’

Rediscover Shakespeare’s tale of bitterness and retribution.

Bitterness begets blood.

Bassiano is in love with the gorgeous heiress Portia! Alas, he’s too poor to pass the suitors’ test set by her father. Fortunately, Bassiano’s best friend, Antonio, steps up and borrows the money on his behalf. Unfortunately, Antonio can’t pay it back. The fee? A pound of flesh.

As the pressure reaches boiling point, Antonio needs to find one hell of a lawyer …

The Merchant of Venice is Shakespeare’s iconic tale of greed and justice.

About William Shakespeare
William Shakespeare was born to John Shakespeare and Mary Arden in late April 1564 in Stratford-upon-Avon. He wrote about 38 plays (the precise number is uncertain), many of which are regarded as the most exceptional works of drama ever produced, including Romeo and Juliet (1595), Henry V (1599), Hamlet (1601), Othello (1604), King Lear (1606) and Macbeth (1606), as well as a collection of 154 sonnets, which number among the most profound and influential love poetry in English. Shakespeare died in Stratford in 1616.
