When a time-lost Shakespearean actor and the King of Death himself are forced onto the stage by Queen Elizabeth I, the Globe Theatre becomes a battlefield of storms, daggers, magic, and sheer theatrical misery. Lucius Silver has played every great role in history - except the one he wants. Instead, he's trapped once again as Juliet. Blake Mortimer, storm-summoner and secret ruler of the afterlife, is shoved unwillingly into the role of Romeo. Shakespeare thinks they're brilliant. The Queen thinks she's helping. Everyone else thinks they're witches.
What follows is the most disastrous production of Romeo and Juliet ever performed - a whirlwind of broken props, supernatural slip-ups, accidental levitation, attempted murder, and two immortals who would rather die (again) than kiss onstage.
A hilarious, fast-paced fantasy where fate, death, and Elizabethan theatre collide, Why Am I Always Juliet? is perfect for readers who love magic, mischief, and stories where everything that can go wrong absolutely does.
