About this ebook
The haunted Juliet Capulet and the cunning Prince Hamlet get a love story all their own in this irreverent twist on timeless tales set in a world where all Shakespeare’s characters exist at once…
But fair warning, this is not the Shakespeare from your lit syllabus...
“A gloriously slow-burn romantic fantasy that made me cackle out loud at the joyful, brilliant havoc Clare Edge wreaks on the source material.”
—Bar Fridman-Tell, USA Today bestselling author of Honeysuckle
Since her death and unexplained resurrection, Juliet of House Capulet has been deemed the “Miracle of Verona.” A year after rising from her grave, her mother hopes to find her a suitable husband at the Midsummer Festival at Castle Elsinore. Juliet, however, has other plans—seek out a mystic who might rid her of the ghost of her infamous lover: Romeo Montague.
Meanwhile, Prince Hamlet, plagued by glimpses of the ghost of his late father, seeks someone who might help him communicate with the dead king’s apparition. For he suspects a villain lurks among the royal family, responsible for his father’s death.
When Juliet rescues Lady Ophelia from drowning, she comes face to face with the infuriatingly clever and distractingly handsome Prince Hamlet. Soon, the pair discover that each might hold the key to the other’s ghostly mystery.
But as the two join forces, they unearth not only clues to the malevolent magic taking root across the Continent, but a growing attraction powerful enough to tear a hole between worlds. An attraction further complicated by Romeo's persistent connection with Juliet, and his new-found connection with Prince Hamlet himself. With the aid of King Lear’s brilliant daughter Cordelia, her quick-witted companions Cesario and Imogen, and the utterly unreliable and maddeningly bumbling Bottom the Weaver, Hamlet and Juliet uncover a conspiracy that threatens the entire Globe.
