Born in the wilds of Moray, Gruoch was raised in the illusion of safety, cradled by love and kept far from war. But innocence is a luxury her world does not afford for long. When betrayal burns through her homeland, and violence claims everything she once held sacred, Gruoch learns that survival demands more than patience. It demands fury.
Drawn to the magnetic and merciless warrior Mac Bethad, Gruoch finds not salvation, but the spark of something darker. What begins as tragedy becomes transformation. With blood on her hands and vengeance in her heart, she sheds the girl she once was and becomes something far more dangerous.
A queen forged in fire and vengeance.
The Queen Is Dead is a dark and lyrical reimagining of Macbeth, told through the eyes of the woman history sought to silence. Steeped in gothic beauty and brutal ambition, this feminist historical fantasy pulses with dark magic, forbidden desire, and the raw power of a woman reclaiming her story.
If love made her a traitor, then hate made her a queen.
REVIEWS
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.
