''Prospero's Daughter'' is a fantasy trilogy by American writer L. Jagi Lamplighter, consisting of ''Prospero Lost'', ''Prospero In Hell'', and ''Prospero Regained''.
The narrator of the story is Miranda, of ''Theatre/TheTempest'' fame, although she [[ExternalRetcon explains]] that Creator/WilliamShakespeare fictionalized it. Five centuries and several half-siblings later, in a CrossoverCosmology world, Miranda is running Prospero Inc., which keeps elemental powers in check by providing them with such valuable goods as phoenix ash. Her father has left her a message that he is in trouble and she must warn all her siblings that they are in danger.
