Publisher's Summary
As the darkness crept in and tension mounted, I eagerly turned pages until the tragic end. Interesting twists on Shakespeare’s play.—Beth Green, author of Seeds of Power and Dreamcatcher
The story is everything you wanted to know about the queen in MacBeth's tale—even if you didn't know you were missing it!—Courtnee Hoyle, author of The Pale Woods Mysteries.
For lovers of tragic romance, magical settings and unforgettable characters, The Queen Is Dead is a speculative retelling of Shakespeare's Macbeth told from the perspective of literature's most fiendish queen. Inspired by the historical figures behind the infamous characters, this unflinching re-examining seeks a more satisfying origin story for the serpent beneath the flower. If love made her a traitor, then hate made her a queen.
Peace in the territory of Moray is tenuous at best, and its women know that bored men are often the most dangerous of beasts. Born into a loving and idyllic home in the northern reaches of what would one day become Scotland, Gruoch is sheltered from the reality and dangers of living in such remote lands. Yet as the shadow of treachery and war sweep away the remnants of the innocent girl, and the spark of rebellion is lit by the rakish warrior known as Mac Bethad, what is left of the woman shall step out of the embers and engulf her world in flame.
