Phoebe discovers that one kiss can change the future and the past, when a time-travelling Wanderer called Alexander crashes into her lonely life and shows her a manuscript of Romeo and Juliet, fresh from the quill of William Shakespeare himself. A glamorous thief wants to steal history’s most famous love story; Alexander’s trying to keep it safe. But when William Shakespeare vanishes from the history books, Phoebe’s modern world is transformed. Without Romeo and Juliet, love seeps from the world and society descends into anger and violence. Phoebe braves the journey into the passion and violence of Elizabethan London, working with Alexander to set history to rights, while they struggle to understand the forces that brought them together.
