All Hail, Fleance, That Shalt Be King Hereafter!: The Sequel to Shakespeare’s Macbeth

Macbeth is dead. The royal throne of Scotland returns to the bloodline of the rightful heir, Malcolm, son of Duncan. Peace once again reigns in Dunsinane upon the shoulders of its new king and his loyal subjects.Nevertheless, at Inverness, the former residence of Macbeth, the three witches return, and using their powers of magic and influence, have convinced Fleance, son of Banquo, that he is the warranted master of Inverness now that Macbeth is dead. Fleance, swayed by further prophecies forged from the mouths and conjured images of the weird sisters, enters into his newly granted home with his bride, Emma, starting a life he never thought he would attain, unaware of the path that has been set before him. However, peace of mind fades hastily once Fleance learns what these prophecies may force him into acknowledging...that he shall be king.As all is not what it seems within the already blood-scarred walls of Inverness, Malcolm learns of Fleances’ claim to the lands not within his birthright, which encompass a memory of pain he cannot forget. Familiar voices scream out with remembrances of recent tragedies, images appear presenting scenes impossible to believe and a young man fights his own fate at the choice to commit murder and become king, or lose his own life on a clear descent into utter madness.
