Avalon in the Winter of 1553–1554
The Year of Frost and Firelight The Land and the Season The winter that bridges 1553 and 1554 is one of the coldest in living memory. From the mist-drenched cliffs of Cornwall to the snow-crowned Cairngorms, the land of Avalon lies hushed beneath a pall of frost. Rivers crawl sluggishly under plates of ice, and the Thames itself wears a silver skin through which the moonlight dances like Glamour incarnate. Even the oldest oaks of the Greenwood creak in protest beneath the wei

John Shakespeare, the Boggan of Stratford (Summer, 1553)
Mortal Mask & Trade: Born in 1523, John Shakespeare has lived quietly in Stratford for just over a year, building a reputation not only as a hardworking glover but also as a craftsman of exceptional talent. In Tudor England, gloves are more than a necessity—they are symbols of wealth and status.

Cornelius of Brunswick-Lüneburg (Spring 1553)
At sixteen years of age, Cornelius of Brunswick-Lüneburg cuts a figure unlike most of his kin. His hair, long and unbound, falls in waves of mixed blond and brown, framing a pale face untouched by whisker or beard. His eyes are a striking shade of blue—keen, thoughtful, and always searching the world as though it were a page to be read. Where his brothers grow strong of arm and broad of shoulder, Cornelius is thin and small, his stature lending weight to the belief that he is
