Inverness, 1769. On a freezing winter's night, astronomer Nancy
Lockaby arrives at Blackthistle House, home to renowned, enigmatic
Shakespeare scholar Caleb Malles. When, a month before, Nancy
received an invitation from Caleb to leave her position at the
Royal Observatory and join him as a research fellow, she saw the
opportunity to leave behind a past riddled with tragedy - and to
find adventure and freedom in Scotland. In her new home, Nancy
initially finds herself captivated by Caleb's eccentric mind and
deep passion for Macbeth. So, when she crosses paths with three old
crones who reveal that Caleb is keeping secrets from her, she is
dismissive - after all, the women also claim to have lived many
centuries and possess powers that defy any logical reasoning. Yet
as Caleb's behaviour becomes more erratic, she begins to suspect
that the mysterious scholar might have had hidden motives to lure
her into his home. But can Nancy trust these three strange women
when they warn her that if she doesn't uncover Caleb's true
intentions, great danger awaits them all? Offering a fresh,
feminist perspective on literature's most infamous trio, The
Wayward Sisters is an enthralling, intricately woven story of
friendship, intrigue and magic.
