More about the book

Set against the backdrop of Water Lane, a significant stop on Medieval pilgrimages, the narrative explores the final moments of Christopher Marlowe as he lies dying from a stab wound. The water symbolizes an imaginary pilgrimage, prompting Marlowe to reflect on his life amidst the chaos of his murderers' discussions. The story intertwines the overt mystery of his death with a deeper inquiry into the influences that shape an artist's work, creating a rich tapestry of life, art, and mortality in Elizabethan England.
