“I am nothing but the dagger in my husband’s hand.”

Lady Roscille, wears her viel as she must be a witch because any man who looks at her beautiful face and into her hypnotic eyes ends up enchanted to her bidding which is how her father has used her even up to the point where he sends her to Scotland to be marred to Macbeth. 

Scared and alone this story tells us how Roscille became Lady Macnrth by using the way men underestimate woman, and often dont believe they can be much more than just a wife/mother. Is she a victim or a villian, is she surviving or dangerous.

I loved this book, my first Ava Reid and won't be my last. She writes so beautifully and haunting, I felt this story in my bones.
