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.
