   Summary

   Horatio intended to live a disciplined life. As a student of Lutheran theology, he was certain that reason could master any temptation.

   But he did not account for Hamlet, a brilliant but irreverent prince who shook the foundations of his faith. From the sober lecture halls of Wittenberg to the corrupted royal court of Elsinore, Horatio remained at Hamlet’s side through sin, betrayal, and the unbearable weight of loving a man seemingly determined to destroy himself.

   A secret love burns between the lines of Shakespeare’s Hamlet, fueled by devotion and tragedy.
