'The magical realism book series, Into the Abyss, takes a young, unassuming Australian woman and plunges her back through time rifts: into Shakespeare’s classic plays.
'Harriet Hunter arrives first in Verona, where she quickly realises that she is somehow living the life of a woman long before her own time. While she wrestles with the prejudices of society and the traditional roles of women, she races against time to change the classical tragic ending.
'Featuring an Australian female protagonist, Vault of Verona fractures the classic story of Romeo and Juliet, bringing it into the 21st Century and altering a tragic ending.
'The classic Shakespearean love tragedy, Romeo and Juliet, is a tale of forbidden love, feuding families and tragic endings. Book One of the Into the Abyss series, Vault of Verona, demonstrates how just one decision can have a butterfly effect felt throughout time.'

'Harriet thinks her life has returned to normal, yet she is intrigued about exactly how she was able to travel to Verona. While she is immersing herself in the world of the Bard in an attempt to find some answers, she is catapulted back to the bloody court of King Duncan, just in time to witness his demise at the hands of Macbeth.
'Confused about what she is there to achieve, Harriet wrestles with powerful personalities, murderous intentions and a lust for power and revenge that seems can never be sated. She must figure it out before it’s too late...there’s only a limited amount of time she can stay in this world, and her choices have the power to affect generations to come.
'Harriet Hunter's story continues with the second instalment of the Into the Abyss series, Scourge of Scotland.
'The classic Shakespearean tragedy, Macbeth, is a tale of greed, passion and murderous intentions, slain kinsmen and beguiling witchcraft. Book Two of the Into the Abyss series follows a series of changes that complicate the lives of more than just Harriet, where a single dubious decision could change lives in multiple centuries.
'Will Harriet make it home, or will it all be over this time?'
