Prince of Shadows



Two households, both alike in dignity, in fair Verona, where we lay our scene . . .

Two households, both alike in dignity, in fair Verona, where we lay our scene...

In the Houses of Montague and Capulet, there is only one goal: power. The boys are born to fight and die for honor and – if they survive – marry for influence and money, not love. The girls are assets, to be spent wisely.

Their wishes are of no import. Their fates are written on the day they are born.

Benvolio Montague, cousin to Romeo, knows all this. He expects to die for his cousin, for his house, but a spark of rebellion still lives inside him. At night, he is the Prince of Shadows, the greatest thief in Verona – and he risks all as he steals from House Capulet. In doing so, he sets eyes on convent-bound Rosaline, and a terrible curse begins that will claim the lives of many in Verona...

And will rewrite all their fates, forever.

'Rachel Caine is a first-class storyteller.' Charlaine Harris
