Lady Macbeth, by Ava Reid - Milly
Lady Macbeth is Shakespeare's most famous villainess, and with the spell-binding writing of Ava Reid, we learn of Macbeth's power, voice, and story like never before.
The Lady knows the stories. The Lady knows the idle gossip and fear mongering. The Lady knows what is being whispered on the winds throughout the lands.
The Lady knows her eyes can induce madness in men with a single glance, penetrating their very soul, therefore manipulating them - for such power is to be feared.
The Lady knows her fate is to be shackled and wed to the Scottish brute who never quite sheds his warrior skin or morals, even when entering such a sacred territory as the marriage bed, for he sees this as nothing more than another battle to be fought, another helpless being to be conquered.
Yet she also is fully aware that when entering his court, her survival will require all of her skill, talents, and even witchcraft, should she choose to live a life of her own. But it won’t be easy.
The Lady, however, does not realise that she isn’t the only one with secrets and hidden desires, as her husband has many of his own. Even more dangerous is the fact that her powers and magic are greater and more potent than even the fates could predict, for in the depths of the crumbling castle, lies the biggest, darkest secret of all….
Another fantastic novel from Ava Reid, her writing just gets better with each book. This is definitely her best one yet.
Highly recommended.
