LADY MAKBETH
A Romance
CIRCE meets WOLF HALL in this reimagining of Shakespeare's play, where Lady Makbeth is given a voice, a past, and a power that transforms the story men have written for her.
The Lady knows the stories: that her eyes induce madness in men. The Lady knows she will be wed to this Scottish brute, who does not leave his warrior ways behind when he comes to the marriage bed. The Lady knows his hostile, suspicious court will be a game of survival, requiring all of her wiles and hidden witchcraft to survive.
But the Lady does not know her husband has occult secrets of his own. She does not know that prophecy girds him like armor. She does not know that her magic is greater, and more dangerous, and that it will threaten the order of the world.
She does not know this yet. But she will.
Ava Reid is the bestselling author of the The Wolf and the Woodsman, Juniper & Thorn, and A Study in Drowning. She has a degree in political science from Barnard College, focusing on religion and ethnonationalism.
