“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. An irreverent new twist on classic tales set in a fantastical world where all William Shakespeare’s most beloved characters exist at once… The haunted Juliet Capulet and the brooding Prince Hamlet get a strange and darkly whimsical story all their own. But fair warning, this is not the Shakespeare on your lit syllabus…. 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. 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.
