Juliet lived an agonizing lie for most of her young life. Disguised as the Red Whirlwind, she prowled the shadows of Neo Verona, sword in hand, desperate to end the tyrannous reign of Vile Duke Motague. Nothing else mattered to this lionhearted beauty until the day she laid eyes on Romeo. Handsome and daring, he swooped into her life and absconded with her heart. But now--just as their love begins to blossom--the mysterious entity known as Escalus threatens to destroy their world and tear the star-crossed lovers from each other's arms once and for all.
