King Of The Shadows is a great, fictional story about a boy named Nat Field. Nat is one of many talented actor and acrobat that has been recruited by an American acting company that is to travel to London to perform "Midsummer Night's Dream" by Shakespeare at the replica of the Globe theatre. Nat is excited to leave behind is home and the shadows that haunt his past as a small child. Then one day while practicing his role at the Globe Theatre something weird happens, Nat becomes ill with The Black Death. Everything happens so quickly, he's in his room with a fever and then the next second he's in a coma. At least that's what everyone in 2013 think. Nat wakes up in an interiorly different]t world. In a world where he will befriend Shakespeare himself and be part of thee original Midsummer Night's Dream.
The theme in the book is that everyone has a bigger purpose in life. Nat didn't want to time travel or have his parents die but because of his past it shaped the person he is. If Nat hadn't time traveled then most things that happened in the past wouldn't have happened. Shakespeare wouldn't have been inspired to right Hamlet. In the book Nat discovers something amazing, "If I hadn't gone back in time Shakespeare would have died way too early." This means that Nat saved Shakespeare by traveling back in time, meaning that he had a bigger part in this universe than he thought.
