Before Romeo and Juliet, there was Pyramus and Thisbe.
In the sun-baked streets of ancient Babylon, two young lovers dare to defy a hatred older than they are.
Pyramus, a gifted apprentice scribe with a fiery temper he cannot quite master.
Thisbe, clever, musical, and yearning for a life beyond the walls built to contain her.
Their families are enemies. Their meetings are forbidden. Their love is dangerous.
Bound by whispered vows through a cracked wall, Pyramus and Thisbe build a secret world of stolen glances, shared songs, and impossible hope. But when fate intervenes and the gods remain cruelly silent, love becomes the most dangerous act of all.
