Description
A hagtale, a dark fable, a fireside story, known to Shakespeare, but unwritten. Until now. In eleventh-century Scotland, feral wolf-child Wulva is brought up by witches and then sent to live at a Scottish castle, where she falls under the spell of cruel, ambitious Lord Macbeth.
Three hundred years later, gentle Brother Rowan goes on a strange and perilous journey to a remote and ancient monastery to write a history of the Scottish king-line. Misfits in their own time, seekers after truth, Wulva and Rowan are deeply connected despite the centuries that separate them. They are joined by their love of nature and steeped in its potent mysteries.
Hagtale explores the power of stories lost and found, their transformative potential, and who gets to be the owner of the tale.
