A struggling student, a resident golden boy, and the curse that will bring them together: this queer, trans retelling is Hamlet as you've never read it before
Exploring classism, identity, and the true meaning of revolution, this dark academia novel is perfect for fans of R. F. Kuang's Babel
The summer before his sophomore year, Horatio Bithersea walks into the university library to find Carson Hamlett, resident golden boy and master magician, cradling his father's dead body. Life at Elsinore, one of the most prestigious universities in the secretive magical world, simply goes on when the professor's death is ruled an accident--despite the mysterious circumstances and the bloody scene.
A year later, Horatio is keeping his head down, attempting to graduate without his out-of-control magic harming his classmates. That changes when the ghost of Hamlett's father appears and places a curse on Horatio and Hamlett: avenge his death by destroying Elsinore and its heart, lest the ghost robs them of their minds, memories, and their very souls.
Elsinore has given Horatio everything--knowledge of his magical ability, an escape from his abusive family, and freedom to pursue his life as a transgender man--and now he's to be its doom. As the two uncover more of Elsinore's secrets, Horatio finds himself becoming more and more ensnared in Hamlett's dark but charismatic web.
The question is not if Horatio will manage to destroy Elsinore. The question is if Hamlett will destroy him first. This twisty, queer, dark academia is a brand-new take on the questions that haunt Shakespeare's Hamlet.
