"'Did my heart love till now?' 'For I ne'er saw true beauty till this night.' Romeos words when he first sets his eyes on Juliet. Do you think his actions are true to his words? Are they based on true love or common physical attraction?"
Shakespeare club at Renova Academy was a place for 16 literature catch ups no less, all were slightly gifted in the art that was literature, but not all were very fond of Shakespeare's writing. However as usual, not everyone can always agree..to disagree. ''Tis the tale of one family of pupils that gets cut into two houses, both alike in dignity, in fair Renova where we lay our scene, who cannot agree on the correct interpretation of Romeo and Juliet, one household of 8 thinks it's a cautionary tale about the stupidity of youth and shallow lust; the other thinks it's a beautiful tragedy about poisonous hatred conquered by love.
Reconciliation seems all impossible...
Until one boy from one group falls in love with a girl in the other...
"'For never was a story of more woe...Than this of Juliet and her Romeo.'"

The Devil's Crybaby
Eliza Labelle had survived a shooting that should have killed her, but surviving turned out to be the beginning of her problems rather than the end. After waking in a hospital bed with a bullet wound and a government determined to bury the incident, she discovered that the man responsible had vanished behind the walls of a place most people only whispered about. While her family tried to push her back into her privileged city life, strange events and growing unease made it impossible for her to forget what happened. When she was suddenly taken from everything she knew and dragged beyond the safety of the world she had grown up in, Eliza found herself trapped in a brutal land ruled by old loyalties, hidden power structures, and people who lived by laws far different from those of the city. As she struggled to survive among dangerous strangers, she uncovered secrets that connected powerful families, forbidden territories, and a world that had been carefully hidden from ordinary people. The deeper she was pulled into that world, the harder it became to separate friend from enemy, truth from manipulation, and survival from sacrifice. What began as a fight to return home slowly became a journey that forced her to confront the darkest parts of human nature, the cost of loyalty, and the reality that some doors could never be closed once they were opened.
