Albia has grown up with no knowledge of her mother of her father, the powerful Macbeth. Instead she knows the dark lure of the Wychelm Wood and the moors, where she’s been raised by three strange sisters. It’s only when the ambitious Macbeth seeks out the sisters to foretell his fate that Albia’s life becomes tangled with the man who leaves nothing but bloodshed in his wake. She even falls in love with Fleance, Macbeth’s rival for the throne. Yet when Albia learns that she has the second sight, she must decide whether to ignore the terrible future she foresees—or to change it. Will she be able to save the man she loves from her murderous father? And can she forgive her parents their wrongs, or must she destroy them to save Scotland from tyranny?

I was at first wary to read this book because I've heard how emotionally draining Macbeth is. But once again Lisa Klein has done it! After I started reading it, I couldn't stop. The story was absolutely magnificent and you will immeadiately fall in love with character of Albia. The book is definatley one of my favorites. It has just the right amount of love, death, heartbreak, joy, tears, smiles, and magic in it. She puts a clever twist on the story of Macbeth that will leave you wanting more.
