The Lady knows the stories: how her eyes induce madness in men.
The Lady knows she will be wed to the 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 strategy, 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.
“Expertly narrated by Imani Jade Powers, this speculative fiction enters the mind and motives of Lady Macbeth. While she’s reminiscent of Shakespeare’s character, many of the events depart from the play’s, allowing us to see things through her eyes. Seventeen-year-old Roscille, allegedly cursed by witches, drives men mad after one look into her eyes. Against her will, she’s forced to marry the brutish Macbeth and wear a facial veil. Macbeth keeps three witches locked in a dungeon beneath his castle. As their predictions come true, he becomes convinced of his invincibility. Powers creates a gothic ambiance with occult overtones and credible supernatural occurrences. Powers’s hushed tones and fascinating multilingual expressions make the Lady’s despair and deep understanding of her situation completely believable.”—Winner of AudioFile Earphones Award
