Lady Macbeth.

In "Lady Macbeth" by Ava Reid, the author presents an alternate version of Shakespeare's villainess that embraces the supernatural elements of the play. The story follows Roscille, a seventeen-year-old bride who is rumored to be cursed by a witch. She is married to Macbeth and faces challenges as she adjusts to her new life, including discovering three witches held captive by her husband. Reid subverts the expected plot beats and develops sympathetic characters, resulting in a masterful reimagining of the familiar story. [Extracted from the article]
