One of Shakespeare's greatest, but also bloodiest tragedies, was written around 1605 to 1606. Many have seen the story of Macbeth's murder and usurpation of the legitimate Scottish King Duncan as having obvious connection to contemporary issues regarding King James I (James VI of Scotland), and the Gunpowder Plot of 1605. King James was particularly fascinated with witchcraft, so the appearance of the witches chanting "Fair is foul, and foul is fair" at the opening of the play seemed particularly topical, as was Macbeth's betrayal of Banquo, from whom James claimed direct descent.

Trials of Gideon Book 1: The Cursed Blade
Gideon Saint is usually in trouble. It's his pastime to get involved in epic quests throughout history, namely the Middle Ages. Once again, he's run afoul of the Templars, and ancient organization of Wizards. This time, they are offering him the chance to right old wrongs, by retrieving a mysterious cursed blade. 1403 awaits. Sequel Series to Last Knights of Cambia series, and the Days of the Dead trilogy, ergo it contains spoilers for those. Similar narrative style and tone, that is if you want English history explained like Lemony Snicket, then this is for you. Ahem. Living people die, dead people live. Swords. Epic Battles. Mysterious riddles. Coded messages. True love. Traitors. Murder. Found families. Yes, Henry V is here and he is awesome. Did we mention swords? Tombs are described in loving detail. People are not. Yes you may learn something about the battle of Shrewsberry but that's a risk you're going to have to take. Content/Trigger Warning: A battle is depicted at length, relatively graphic blood/gore associated with that. A character is injured severely and must twice undergo surgery on page, this is fairly graphic and may be disturbing to some readers. Brief innuendo. Some brief strong language. Some mild sexuality. Catholicism is discussed. All disturbing scenes are usually forewarned, that is it's clear what is going to happen. Some brief peril. Some light disturbing humor relating to murder. PG-13 quality stuff, be aware of your mental state and seek support as needed.Complete

Days of the Dead Book 2: The Beggar's Tomb
Gideon Saint and Wales have had a year of peace since Kit Wren was condemned to the Beggar's Tomb. As for Kit? He's been falling for 300 years, and is about to be tasked with a new and dangerous quest in hope of salvation. An unexpected funeral is about to bring the English and Welsh royal families together in the wake of tragedy, otherwise known as the perfect moment for Kit to strike again. Gideon has the fight of his life ahead of him if he's to keep the peace and save his friends. In the end, he knows the answer to the mystery of Kit's power lies in the mysterious Beggar's Tomb. Dead people live. Living people die. Swords are described in loving detail, people are not. As always Henry V is here and he is fantastic despite being the primary antagonist. Magic, betrayal, murder attempts, dragons. It's situation normal in 1439. As always, this is historical revisionist fiction. It is book 2 in the 'Days of the Dead' Trilogy. Trigger/Content Warning: some profanity throughout. Mild innuendos. A main character's death is discussed at length. Troubled childhood/abuse is discussed. A character with autism is tortured by memories of being put in restraints. The final chapter contains extremely graphic violence and disturbing imagery that may be upsetting to some readers.Complete
