'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.

The Festival gives high school students the chance to compete against other talented Shakespeare fans for the chance to be part of a live Shakespeare stage show. The general public is encouraged to come along to the finals and see the students competing for this exciting opportunity.
