If you love books by Diana Gabaldon, JoJo Moyes, and Deborah Harkness, you’ll love Awakening Macbeth, too. Just don’t expect to get much sleep . . .
Historian Brodie Macbeth has a good life. She’s a respected professor at the University of Virginia, one half of a campus power couple, an athlete and the owner of a very smart dog.
But life unravels fast when her father, a fellow professor at the university, dies under mysterious circumstances and her soon-to-be-ex boyfriend tries to profit from the death.
Each night, she’s trapped in the pages of her father’s books and facing death; at Waterloo waiting for Napoleon’s army to attack, shipwrecked in the Antarctic with Ernest Shackleton, shivering in the Tower of London as Anne Boleyn’s executioner sharpens his axe.
Daytime brings a different complication when Brodie falls for Joe Birnam, a battle-scarred veteran of the Iraq War. Their love story awakens a world of happy possibilities but is soon threatened by the realization that her nightmares are a game and Joe’s immortal soul is the prize.
