The Netherfeld Trilogy

William Shakespeare's characters are no longer confined to the stage. Hamlet deviously escapes from pirates. Caliban battles Puck in Fairy Land. And a trio of witches ensnare new prey in the form of Alda, an orphan girl with magical intuition, and Dreng, a cabin boy who reads a lost language.

Originally published as separate novels by acclaimed author Amber Elby, Cauldron's Bubble, Double Double Toil, and Trouble Fires Burn invite readers into worlds beyond Shakespeare's plays to explore a fast-paced fantasy realm with surprising twists and turns. Bard enthusiasts will recognize characters, conflicts, and discourse, while those new to the Shakespeare-verse will become immersed in an engaging, accessible tale of love and heartbreak, power and suppression, and deceit and discovery.


The journey begins when Alda discovers a mysterious bubble that transports her to witches on a moor while, elsewhere, Dreng survives a devastating shipwreck. The pair are united on an enchanted island, where Alda journeys to free a magical being, and Dreng is love-struck by an enigmatic young woman. Together, Alda and Dreng must awake to their own powers and to the realities around them before they are consumed by deadly magic.


Shakespeare connoisseurs and curious newcomers alike will appreciate the adventures within. Read on...
