A dual-timeline literary thriller that traces the parallel struggles of two brilliant women separated by centuries. In Elizabethan London, Emilia Bassano—gifted poet and playwright—is barred by her era's rigid conventions from claiming her own work, forcing her to front her masterpieces through an unknown actor named William Shakespeare. In modern Manhattan, her descendant Melina Green faces remarkably similar barriers. After countless rejections, she makes a calculated decision: submit her powerful new play under a male pseudonym. The work is instantly celebrated and greenlit for production, plunging Melina into an impossible choice about secrecy, ambition, and the price of visibility.
A piercing exploration of authorship, systemic inequality, and what it truly means to own your voice—then and now.
