About this book

A thrilling tale of rebellion and desire in 17th-century England.

Magdalen King-Hall's Life and Death of the Wicked Lady Skelton plunges into the scandalous double life of Barbara Skelton, a woman stifled by marriage who transforms herself into a daring highway robber. Set against the backdrop of Restoration England, this historical novel explores Barbara's quest for freedom and self-expression as she defies societal expectations and embraces a life of adventure and illicit passion.

For readers seeking a blend of historical intrigue and female empowerment, Wicked Lady Skelton offers a captivating journey through a world of aristocratic privilege, dangerous liaisons, and supernatural mysteries. Will Barbara find true liberation, or will her reckless choices lead to her ultimate downfall? Discover a classic tale of transgression that challenges the boundaries of gender and morality.
