On the planet Thesbos, the Word of Shakespeare is Law. Through the mystery of his Works, embodied in his living arcana, the power of illusion holds the eyes – and mind – of the entire galaxy in thrall. Only death is real.
At the centre of this web of dreams lies the Council of Five. They have given up their very selves to become the Major Arcana, to possess power beyond their wildest dreams. But the latest object of their sadistic whimsy may face them with a rude awakening – if he can survive his trial through the mazes of the flesh to become Coriolanus The Chariot.
"The Chariot is the warrior prince with a drawn sword who carries the heads of two of his captives on his shoulders. He is conquest. Conquest in the mind, in technology, in progress, in all stages of initiation. He liberates others from bondage but not himself. Never himself. He must win." [The Prophet, William Shakespeare]
