Synopsis

The game is love versus evil . . . Winner take all.

“Page-turning paranormal romance.” – Kirkus Reviews

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. To make matters worse, her father’s will leaves Brodie with a strange inheritance, including a requirement to read his collection of British history books.

She wonders if she really knew the man who raised her.

As Brodie reads her way through her father’s library, the books bring on time-traveling nightmares unlike any dreams she’s ever had before. Sleep becomes a haunting dimension where Brodie is stalked by a sinister figure desperately demanding to know her father’s deepest secret.

As the line between reality and the past blurs, Brodie's dreams grow increasingly dangerous. Each night, she’s trapped in the pages of her father’s books and facing death; at Waterloo facing Napoleon’s army, 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 she 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 the nightmares are a game that could take not only Brodie’s life but also Joe’s immortal soul.

And the devil is running out of time.

Brodie must play a dangerous game of love versus evil, desperately unraveling her father’s double life before she loses everything. But how can she and Joe survive the game when the only person who knew how to win is dead?

Join Brodie and Joe on a heart-pounding journey through passion, peril, and the struggle between light and dark in this riveting paranormal romance.

Is love enough when it’s time to save your soul?
