"Suspenseful, atmospheric and full of twists and turns, I loved the
brutal, backstabbing world that Isabelle Schuler conjures up where
only the most ruthless can survive. A thoroughly enjoyable
read!"--Jennifer Saint, bestselling author of Ariadne and Elektra
An instant international bestseller: a suspenseful, sweeping
historical epic for readers of Natalie Haynes and Madeline Miller,
which boldly reimagines the origin story of the woman who inspired
one of Shakespeare's most iconic characters, Lady Macbeth. She will
be Queen. Whatever it takes . . . Daughter of an ousted king,
descendant of ancient druids, Gruoch (GREW-ock), has grown up
believing that she will be crowned queen of Alba and reclaim the
lands of her Pictish kin, a prophecy seemingly fulfilled by her
betrothal to Duncan, the heir-elect. Determined never to be
powerless again, she leaves behind her home, her family, and her
close friend MacBethad, and travels to the royal seat at Scone to
embrace her new position. But Duncan's court is rife with sly words
and unfriendly faces, women desperate to usurp her position, and
others whose motives are shrouded in mystery. As her coronation
approaches, a deadly turn of events forces Gruoch to flee Duncan
and the capital. Alone and at the mercy of an old enemy, her hope
of becoming Queen all but lost, Gruoch must make a fateful choice:
live a long, quiet life in the shadows, or seize vengeance and a
path back to the throne. A stunning literary reclamation of an
iconic character, Queen Hereafter is a gripping story of female
ambition, power, history, desire, hate, and vengeance set against
the backdrop of early medieval Scotland.
