About this listen

Utterly gripping historical fiction from bestseller Elena Collins - perfect for fans of Barbara Erskine, Outlander and Weyward.

Now: When Ruthie gets the part of one of Macbeth’s famous three witches she can’t wait to get started. Inspired by the beauty of the film’s Scottish locations and the camaraderie of the cast and crew, she can leave behind the expectations of her family and her lacklustre love life, at least for now. But as echoes from the past begin whispering in Ruthie’s ear and a restless spirit draws her further into its centuries-old secrets, it soon becomes clear that only she can uncover the truth of a terrible injustice.

1050 Scotland: Isobel and her two sisters have learnt about healing from their loving mother Sidheag, and she in turn has kept them safe. But without the protection of their late father, Sidheag knows that her daughters must find husbands or their futures are at risk.

Isobel believes in love over duty and when she catches sight of King Macbeth’s stepson Lulach she can picture a happiness she had hardly dare imagine. But as heir to a Scottish throne that is drenched in blood, Lulach’s destiny is to be a warrior. When Isobel’s actions leave her and her sisters vulnerable to accusations of witchcraft there may be nothing that can keep the three women safe, not even the great Macbeth himself.

As the calls from the past grow ever louder, Ruthie has no choice. Macbeth’s witches have a story that needs to be told and the truth can no longer stay hidden…

Truly unforgettable timeslip historical fiction, perfect for fans of Emilia Hart, Clare Marchant and C.J. Cooke.

Time goes slow when waiting for a new Elena Collins epic novel and this one as always exceeded the last. A tender and sensitively told story which makes me want to research more. Surely it is open to a follow up, simply enchanting.

It's a great twist on an old legend. It's really sad in a lot of places especially how the people turned against Isobel. The Queen was horrible and her son deserved his "fool" title. Definitely a must read. The narrator is good, although I can't comment on her Scottish accent or pronunciations, but she seemed good, although the MFC does have a grating voice.

Brilliant
