QUEEN MACBETH (DARKLAND TALES) (HB)

The Darkland Tales series sees Scotland’s best writers re-imagining stories from the country’s history, myth and legend for a modern audience. In the depths of 11th century Scotland, we meet Gruoch Ingen Boite, a granddaughter of the king, caught up in a web of vicious intrigue. This is a tale of marriage and multiple murder, showing how one strong, charismatic woman was able to survive - and thrive - amidst the endless plotting of ruthless and ambitious men. Overturning Shakespeare's propaganda, readers will encounter a new Lady Macbeth, bringing a schemer in the shadows out into the light and exposing the patriarchal prejudices of history.
