In the shadow of Romeo and Juliet

The book that inspired the TV series Still Star-Crossed , produced by Shonda Rhimes

Discover what happened after the tragic deaths of Romeo and Juliet, as mysterious figures in Verona reveal themselves determined to reignite the conflict between the Montagues and the Capulets.

Despite the peace established after the tragedy, the old feud between the families refuses to die: fifteen days later, members of both houses are once again fighting in the streets.

Once again confronted with the hatred between the two clans, Prince Escalus concludes that the only way to seal peace is to marry a Montague to a Capulet. But Benvolio and Rosaline, the chosen couple, are not interested in marriage. Unlike their deceased cousins, there is no love lost between them, so they find a common goal: to resolve the conflict between the families in a way that doesn't end with both of them at the altar.

But, like Romeo and Juliet before them, Rosaline, Benvolio, and Prince Escalus are about to discover that the road to peace is a tortuous one—and that in Verona, true love is found in the most unexpected places.

In addition to being a thrilling story filled with clandestine meetings, romantic encounters, and duels for family honor, In the Shadow of Romeo and Juliet is also a tribute to Shakespeare that will enchant and captivate readers until the very end.
