Clare Edge
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 a seemingly mad Lady Ophelia from drowning, she’s invited to dine with the royal family and 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 wholly vexing Bottom the Weaver, Hamlet and Juliet uncover a conspiracy that threatens the entire Globe.

Critic Reviews
“A romp through the best of Shakespeare. Juliet, marked by death and haunted by Romeo’s ghost, finds her way to Elsinore. Clare Edge pulls the Bard's most beloved characters across plays and genres into a richly imagined world of her own making that twists and turns and continually surprises. Thoroughly modern, inventive, and impossible to predict.”—Rachel Hochhauser, New York Times bestselling author of Lady Tremaine
“Ingenious, swoony, and full of twists I absolutely did not see coming, Hamlet & Juliet weaves Shakespeare’s plays into a gloriously slow-burn romantic fantasy that made me cackle out loud at the joyful, brilliant havoc Clare Edge wreaks on the source material—and may have finally converted me into a Shakespeare fan. An utter delight.”—Bar Fridman-Tell, USA Today bestselling author of Honeysuckle
“But soft! What light through yonder ereader breaks? It is Hamlet & Juliet, and Clare Edge is the brilliant author who brought their deliciously entangled tale to light. This book scratched every single theatre girl itch I didn’t even know I had. It’s like Shakespearean fanfiction in all the best ways with a million little morsels of lore sprinkled throughout. For lovers of gothic settings, brooding princes, and haunted girls. Even if you aren’t a Billy Shakes fan, this book will make you a superfan of Clare Edge. Now to find myself a lovely black lipstick to cosplay Juliet.”—Melody Robinette, author of These Vile Hearts
