READ AN EXCERPT.

Shakespeare's Witches tell Banquo, "Thou Shalt 'Get Kings Though Thou Be None". Though Banquo is murdered, his son Fleance gets away. What happened to Fleance? What Kings? As Shakespeare's audience apparently knew, Banquo was the ancestor of the royal Stewart line. But the road to kingship had a most inauspicious beginning, and we follow Fleance into exile and death, bestowing the Witches' prophecy on his illegitimate son Walter. Born in Wales and raised in disgrace, Walter's efforts to understand Banquo's murder and honor his lineage take him on a long and treacherous journey through England and France before facing his destiny in Scotland.

My Review:

Four Stars

Copy received from Historical Fiction Virtual Book Tour for an honest review.
I really enjoy the historical and mystery element combined.  I thought that Rochelle was able to keep a great balance between the historical perspectives and the mystery as well.  I enjoyed this story and thought the writing was well done.  The plot was interesting and the characters also.
