She catches the attention of the captivating, darkhaired Prince Hamlet, and their love blossoms in secret. But bloody deeds soon turn Denmark into a place of madness, and ultimately, Ophelia must choose between her love for Hamlet and her own life. In desperation, Ophelia devises a treacherous plan to escape from Elsinore forever . . . with one very dangerous secret, she is pregnant with Hamlets child. Sharp and literary, dark and romantic, this dramatic story holds readers in its grip until the final, heartrending scene.
