In this gripping audiobook, experience a debut that delves into the life of Lady Macbeth, set ten years before Shakespeare’s iconic play. Scotland in the 11th Century serves as the backdrop for a young girl who carries the burden of her mother’s death and the weight of an ominous prophecy. Married at fifteen to the Mormaer of Moray, she endures the brutality of a sadistic husband and a nation at war. To protect her young son in a realm filled with superstitions, she must harness her cunning and wit, especially as her husband’s downfall offers them a chance at freedom.

As the story unfolds, her son grows suspicious of the circumstances surrounding his father’s death, while she finds herself drawn to the enigmatic thane Macbeth. As Lady Macbeth rises to prominence, she navigates a treacherous world dominated by male power, determined to safeguard her family. Yet, with the arrival of King Duncan’s coronation and the scheming of her cousin Macduff, she faces a fateful choice: to achieve her goals at the cost of the very curse that haunts her and the child she cherishes.
