WINNER OF THE WORLD FANTASY AWARD • An enchanting and heartwarming story that will leave you longing for an encore.

“A story of love and magic that will scintillate and haunt you long after you close the cover and turn off the lights.”—Francesca Lia Block

They share a world no one else can understand . . .

Madeleine and Rogan are first cousins, best friends, twinned souls, each other’s first love. Even within their large, disorderly family—all descendants of a famous actress—their intensity and passion for theater sets them apart. And makes them a little dangerous. When they are cast in their school’s production of Twelfth Night, they are forced to face their separate talents and futures, and their future together.
