About This Book

Zwei junge Liebende aus verfeindeten Familien in Verona verlieben sich heimlich, schließen die Ehe mit Hilfe eines Franziskanermönchs und versuchen, die Fehde zu überwinden. Wiederkehrende Auseinandersetzungen, Duelle und ein unglückliches Missverständnis stoßen eine Kette von Verbannung, tödlichen Kämpfen und verzweifelten Entscheidungen an. Die Liebenden sehen in ihrem Tod das Ende der Feindschaft, während Themen wie Schicksal versus freier Wille, impulsive Jugend, familiäre Ehre und die Kosten gewalttätiger Fehden die Handlung durchziehen.
