I am granddaughter to a king and
daughter to a prince,
a wife twice over, a queen
as well. I have fought with
sword and bow, and
struggled fierce to bear my babes
into this world.
I have loved deeply and hated deeply,
too.
Lady Gruadh, called Rue, is the last
female descendent of Scotland’s most royal line. Married
to a powerful northern lord, she is widowed while still
carrying his child and forced to marry her husband’s
murderer: a rising war-lord named Macbeth. Encountering
danger from Vikings, Saxons, and treacherous Scottish
lords, Rue begins to respect the man she once despised–and
then realizes that Macbeth’s complex ambitions extend
beyond the borders of the vast northern region. Among the
powerful warlords and their steel-games, only Macbeth can
unite Scotland–and his wife’s royal blood is the key to
his ultimate success.
Determined to protect her
small son and a proud legacy of warrior kings and strong
women, Rue invokes the ancient wisdom and secret practices
of her female ancestors as she strives to hold her own in
a warrior society. Finally, side by side as the last
Celtic king and queen of Scotland, she and Macbeth must
face the gathering storm brought on by their combined
destiny.
From towering crags to misted moors and
formidable fortresses, Lady Macbeth transports readers to
the heart of eleventh-century Scotland, painting a bold,
vivid portrait of a woman much maligned by history.
