A Max Sterling Adventure – Book Two
A stolen manuscript. A fractured timeline. A race through Elizabethan London.
When the original handwritten draft of Romeo and Juliet vanishes from William Shakespeare’s private chambers, Max Sterling and his friends are launched into a mission far more dangerous than a missing play. The manuscript—raw, smudged, never meant for history—has been taken using unstable timefold tech, and only Max can trace the signature left behind.
But the thief is no stranger. He’s a rival genius—armed with stolen code, a hacked device, and a dangerous head start.
From candlelit taverns to plague-ridden alleys, Max, Chloe, and Nick must navigate the treacherous streets of 1599 London—chasing clues, forging identities, and staying one step ahead of a plot to weaponize history itself.
At stake? More than a lost masterpiece. The seams of time are unraveling—and the future could vanish with them.
They’ll outwit spies, scale crumbling chapels, and come face-to-face with the Bard himself.
Shakespeare’s Shadow blends time travel, literary intrigue, and twist-laced adventure in a story perfect for fans of The Inheritance Games, Lockwood & Co., and The Mapmakers.
