Rachel Caine: NYT bestselling author

The tragic love affair of Romeo and Juliet isn't what it seems to be. From the viewpoint of Romeo's cousin Belvolio, the heartbreak is only the end of a story that starts with their doomed friend Mercutio … and might spell the death of every member of both the Capulet and Montague houses, if he can't work with Romeo's first love Rosaline to uncover the truth, and stop a curse that never should have been.

Prince of Shadows was named by the Texas Library Association to the Spirit of Texas list (2015).
