Sinopsis

Set against the backdrop of a richly imagined medieval world, William Morris's 'The Well at the World's End: A Tale' weaves a complex narrative that intertwines themes of adventure, love, and the quest for an idyllic existence. Morris employs a lyrical prose style that celebrates nature and humanity, reminiscent of the romantic traditions of the era. The novel is not merely a tale of epic journeys but a profound exploration of the human spirit's yearning for utopia, reflecting the broader aesthetic and philosophical currents of 19th-century literature, including longing for simpler times amidst industrialization. William Morris, a prominent figure in the Arts and Crafts movement, was deeply influenced by medieval literature and folklore, which is evident in his meticulous world-building and character development. His experiences as a designer, poet, and social activist provided him with a unique perspective on societal progression and the struggle for personal fulfillment. The themes in 'The Well at the World's End' resonate with his belief in an artful life, inviting readers to ponder the nature of beauty and the meaning of true happiness. This novel is indispensable for readers seeking a profound exploration of myth and morality within a fantastical narrative. Morris's intricate prose and philosophical insights make 'The Well at the World's End' not just a story of adventure, but a timeless reflection on the paths we choose in search of our own 'well at the world's end.'

    Danica Grey, her fae dragon partner Jilly, and the Spellbound Security team have scored another big client. A whistleblower whose secret threatens to destroy several wealthy titans of industry along with their companies. 
     
     
     
    It's a dramatic change from protecting celebrities, but the team is all-in. It doesn't matter that the ones hunting the whistleblower have endless resources. 
     
     
     
    Enter Moriarty. He's been assessing Danica and her team. No wonder he's offered the contract to end the whistleblower before he can appear in court. His talents are deadlier than any other, including his assassin assistant Solene, who holds a vendetta against Danica. 
     
     
     
    Every member of the team will need to step up to meet the challenge. Will it cost them more than they're willing to pay? Voltaic's infomancy, Lilac's potions, Randall's fists, Alex's combat skills, and Zack's tech will be essential, not to mention Danica and Jilly needing to bring their best to the table. 
     
     
     
    Will that be enough to preserve the whistleblower or his defenders from Moriarty's efforts to kill them all? Turns out everything up to now has been a rehearsal. It's time for the real show.
