Rufus Holt is having the worst night of his life. It begins with
the reappearance of his ex-boyfriend, Sebastian - the guy who
stomped his heart out like a spent cigarette. Just as Rufus is
getting ready to move on, Sebastian turns up out of the blue,
saying they need to 'talk.' Things couldn't get worse, right? Then
Rufus gets a call from his sister April, begging for help. He and
Sebastian find her, drenched in blood and holding a knife beside
the dead body of her boyfriend, Fox Whitney. April swears she
didn't kill Fox. Rufus knows her too well to believe she's telling
him the whole truth, but April has something he needs. Her price is
his help. Now, with no one to trust but the boy he wants to hate
yet can't stop loving, Rufus has one night to clear his sister's
name . . . or die trying.
In the Remixed Classics series, authors from marginalized
backgrounds reinterpret classic works through their own cultural
lens to subvert the overwhelming cishet, white, and male canon.
Queer star-crossed love amid a centuries-old feud takes center
stage in this Romeo & Juliet remix that knows sometimes, the
best way is to make it gay. Verona, Italy. Seventeen-year-old
aspiring artist Romeo dreams of a quiet life with someone who loves
him just as he is. But as the heir to the Montague family, he is
expected to give up his "womanly" artistic pursuits and uphold the
family honor--particularly in their centuries-old blood feud with a
rival family, the Capulets. Worse still, he is also expected to
marry a well-bred girl approved by his parents and produce heirs.
But the more Romeo is forced to mingle with eligible maidens, the
harder it is to keep his deepest secret: He only feels attracted to
other boys. In an attempt to forget his troubles for just one
night, Romeo joins his cousin in sneaking into a Capulet party.
During a fateful encounter in the garden, he meets the kindest,
most beautiful boy he's ever met, and is shocked to learn he's
Valentine, the younger brother of one of his closest friends. He is
even more shocked to discover that Valentine is just as enamored
with Romeo as Romeo is with him. So begins a tender romance that
the boys must hide from their families and friends, each of them
longing for a world where they could be together without fear. And
as the conflict between the Montagues and Capulets escalates out of
control, Romeo and Valentine find themselves in danger of losing
each other forever--if not by society's scorn, then by the edge of
a blade. The Remixed Classics Series A Clash of Steel: A Treasure
