"A poet and divinity scholar at Wittenberg University, Horatio is able to argue both sides of any intellectual debate, but he himself, a skeptic, never fully believing in one philosophy. That is, until he meets the Prince of Denmark, an outrageous, provocative, and flamboyantly beautiful young man who teaches Horatio more about Heaven and earthly pleasures than any of his philosophy books. But when Prince Hamlet attracts the attention of Horatio's patroness, the dark, seductive, manipulative Lady Adriane and when a mysterious rival poet calling himself "Master Will Shake-spear" begins to court both the Prince and his Dark Lady, Horatio must take up his pen to fight for his love and his destiny." -- cover, [p. 4].
