Gilly lives in the woods with two old women, Mad Helga and Nettle, who are persecuted as witches. She once led a very different life, but, when she was just a child, that was taken away from her by one man, Macbeth. Now a young woman in her teens, she is finally ready to realize the purpose of her life: to kill Macbeth. Leaving Helga and Nettle, who attempt to dissuade her from revenge, Gilly disguises herself as a boy and obtains work in Macbeth's castle as a kitchen boy. Though she is barely able to catch glimpses of Macbeth, characters such as Fleance, Macduff, and Prince Malcolm cross her path. Even as Gilly works toward Macbeth's destruction, with the reluctant aid of Helga and Nettle, her affection for Pod, a simple boy she rescued in the woods, and the fact that her actions may endanger someone she loves, threaten to sway her purpose. Ultimately, Gilly must decide whether the past or the future is more important.

congratulations!

Received in the post today along with some wonderful Zotter chocolate and a fab looking recipe book of Austrian pastries and desserts. Thankyou Releanna, you really made my day!
