Expected 11 Mar 27In this genre-bending reimagining of Romeo and Juliet for fans of The Invisible Life of Addie La Rue and Hamnet, the world’s most famous star-crossed lovers are trapped in a timeless loop, cursed to live, love, and die again and again, unless they can break the cycle.
Juliet has loved and lost Romeo a thousand times. Across centuries, through war and ruin, their souls find each other—only to be torn apart again. Their love is inescapable, burning bright no matter the era, but so is the shadow that haunts them.
Mercutio’s dying words, “a plague on both your houses,” sealed a curse that has bound them to return one lifetime after another, along with their friends and families whose fates are tied to their own. As they're hurtled through time and space, from World Wars in Europe to New York's Jazz age to Jonestown in Guyana, this cast of characters carries the weight of old wounds, unfinished vengeance and the promise that the past they have inherited cannot be escaped.
With every life and death, Juliet slowly begins to unravel the truth behind their endless cycle, and in doing so must face an impossible is love strong enough to break the patterns of this curse, or are they all doomed to repeat this brutal history forever?
A sweeping, time-bending reimagining of Shakespeare’s greatest lovers, The Thousand Deaths of Romeo and Juliet is an epic love story of passion, destiny, and the ghosts that refuse to let us go.

Exquisitely written, The Thousand Deaths of Romeo and Juliet reimagines Shakespeare’s star-crossed lovers as they relive their romance across history, with love, loss, and old wounds following them from one lifetime to the next. With beautiful prose and an ambitious, imaginative premise, this story is a haunting exploration of fate and whether love can finally set us free.
