Shakespeare's Ophelia as you've never seen her before in an inspiring tale of love and loss. She is young, beautiful, and desperately in love with a man who cannot return her affections without arousing suspicion. And so they meet in secret - embracing in stairwells and castle turrets, murmuring each other's names in hushed voices, reaching passionately for each other under the cover of darkness. His name is Hamlet; her name is Ophelia; and this is their untold story. When bloody deeds turn the court of Elsinore into a place of treachery and madness, the young lovers will devise a plan for revenge - and for escape. Part of their plan calls for Ophelia to cast herself into dark waters. But instead of drowning, she will flee with nothing more than the clothes on her back, and one very dangerous secret.
