Now he's staging a <i>Tempest</i> like no other: no only will it boost his reputation, it will heal emotional wounds. Or that was the plan. Instead, after an act of unforeseen treachery, Felix is living in exile in a backwoods hovel, haunted by memories of his beloved lost daughter, Miranda. And also brewing revenge. After twelve years, his chance finally arrives in the shape of a theatre course at a nearby prison. Here, Felix and his inmate actors will put on his <i>Tempest</i> and snare the traitors who destroyed him. It's magic! But will it remake Felix as his enemies fall?
