by William Shakespeare (Author)

Cymbeline is a richly layered story of love, betrayal, and political intrigue. King Cymbeline of Britain banishes his daughter, Imogen, for secretly marrying Posthumus Leonatus, a man of lower rank. In exile, Posthumus is tricked by the scheming Iachimo, who falsely convinces him of Imogen's infidelity. Meanwhile, Imogen, fleeing her stepbrother Cloten, disguises herself as a boy and hides in the Welsh mountains, where she unknowingly meets her long-lost brothers, kidnapped in infancy. As a Roman invasion looms, the characters' fates intertwine, leading to dramatic revelations and resolutions.
