Lady Macbeth: A Novel BY Ava Reid

In Lady Macbeth, #1 New York Times bestselling author Ava Reid delivers a powerful reimagining of Shakespeare’s iconic villainess. The novel offers a fresh perspective on Lady Macbeth, delving into her backstory and unearthing the hidden depths of her character.

The Lady is acutely aware of the stories that surround her. She knows that her gaze can drive men to madness and that her forthcoming marriage to the formidable Scottish warrior will not be one of gentle romance, but of strategic survival and subterfuge. The hostile and suspicious environment of the Scottish court will test her resolve and cunning.

However, what the Lady does not anticipate is the full extent of her husband’s occult affiliations and the prophecy that influences him. Unbeknownst to her, her own magical abilities are far more potent and perilous than she ever imagined. As she navigates the treacherous landscape of court politics and personal ambition, she will come to realize the true nature of her power and the consequences it may bring.

Reid's novel not only reexamines the familiar narrative of Lady Macbeth but also exposes the darker, hidden layers of her character, providing readers with a gripping, transformative exploration of one of literature’s most enigmatic figures.
