I was quickly approaching 5 years of age. Christmas had come and gone, but with no expectations. Now i was beginning to understand how life was mapped out for me. This book will take the reader on a roller coaster of emotions. It will make you cry, will perhaps in some parts make you contemplate, behind closed doors and it's connotations. The child within everyone one of us will no doubt call out to us. The book is the second in a series, that not only mentions experiences, but tries to get inside the mind and heart of a terrified and traumatised child, who only knew it was his fault.

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.
