A Fractured Shakespeare Novel - Book Three in the Series
Their love broke all the rules... on both sides.
Rhen, an SS officer, and Julia, a young Jewish girl, fall in love at the outbreak of WWII, defying all the odds as star-crossed lovers. Based on Shakespeare's play Romeo and Juliet, "Starcrossed" reimagines the story set in the chaotic world of Berlin. Rhen and Julia meet at a maskenballe, both romantic dreamers whose ideologies rest more in the stars than in their own faith or the politics surrounding them. After their impulsive actions which bind them together, the war rips them apart, and they spend the next four years struggling to find each other... and searching to find their own place within the madness. Again and again, chances are missed as destiny pushes them onward, even as they determine to not end up like the ill-fated lovers of Shakespeare's play.
Will their love survive the horrors of Auschwitz?
Will Rhen save her, and himself, from Hitler's onslaught?
