SYNOPSIS
Shakespeare fed us the myth of the Macbeths as murderous conspirators. But now Val McDermid drags the truth out of the shadows, exposing the patriarchal prejudices of history.
A thousand years ago in an ancient Scottish landscape, a woman is on the run with her three companions – a healer, a weaver and a seer. The men hunting her will kill her – because she is the only one who stands between them and their violent ambition. She is no lady: she is the first queen of Scotland, married to a king called Macbeth.
As the net closes in, we discover a tale of passion, forced marriage, bloody massacre and the harsh realities of medieval Scotland. At the heart of it is one strong, charismatic woman, who survived loss and jeopardy to outwit the endless plotting of a string of ruthless and power-hungry men. Her struggle won her a country. But now it could cost her life.

ABOUT THE AUTHOR
Val McDermid
É uma das mais aclamadas autoras de ficção policial da atualidade. Nascida na Escócia, foi a primeira estudante oriunda de uma escola pública a frequentar o St Hilda’s College, em Oxford, onde estudou Inglês. Antes de se dedicar à escrita a tempo inteiro, trabalhou durante vários anos como jornalista, experiência que viria a influenciar o realismo e a precisão das suas narrativas criminais. Autora de inúmeras obras de sucesso, McDermid tornou-se uma referência no género policial contemporâneo, conhecida pela complexidade das suas personagens e pela forma como combina intriga, tensão psicológica e investigação rigorosa. Ao longo da sua carreira, recebeu diversos prémios literários, incluindo o prestigiado Diamond Dagger da Crime Writers’ Association, atribuído pelo conjunto da sua obra.
