Something wicked this way comes...

Inverness, Scotland, 1769. On a freezing winter's night, astronomer Nancy Lockaby arrives at Blackthistle House to assist renowned Shakespeare scholar, Caleb Malles, in his research.

When three mysterious women arrive, with warnings that Caleb is keeping secrets from her, Nancy is at first dismissive, enthralled instead by his eccentric mind and captivating ideas.

But when his behaviour becomes more and more erratic, she begins to suspect that things aren't as they at first seem. There's trouble brewing, and Nancy's been trapped in the middle of it...

Enthralling, dark and mysterious, rediscover Shakespeare's most infamous trio of women in this intricately woven tale of friendship, intrigue and betrayal.
