A fate foretold is only the beginning ...
England, 1606. Young witch Sarah Stone works as a seamstress for Shakespeare's company of players, and her life revolves around the theatre, her witchcraft, and her brother. But her world is shattered when she foretells the fortune of Shakespeare's latest play.
After her vision, Sarah fears for her life. A dark shadow haunts the playhouse, and when her brother Tom seduces boy actor John Upton, John sees the hand of witchcraft in his own forbidden desires for men. Then Sarah weaves a spell to win another man's love, and John begins to make his accusations against her.
In a world of seductive illusion, can Sarah find a way to save herself?
A compelling and suspenseful tale of love, magic, and the power of fate. Perfect for fans of Diane Setterfield, Erin Morgenstern, and Kate Mosse.
Praise for Shakespeare's Witch
"Un-put-down-able! Dark, complicated and intense. I loved it!" - Coffee & Ink Books
"Steeped in swirling, eerie darkness, there is romance, magic and sex, plus a touch of dark, grisly history ... one of those unforgettable books which will stay with you long after turning the last page." - Chicks, Rogues and Scandals
"Samantha Grosser expertly explores a plethora of oft-studied Shakespeare topics: incest, duty, power, witchcraft, love, God, etc. The story of the novel itself evokes the bard with echoes of his dialogue and plot motifs." Amy's Booket
