He killed Lincoln. But long before that, he captivated four women—and shattered everything they believed in.
Fates and Traitors isn’t just a historical novel. It’s a haunting reimagining of the inner lives of the women closest to John Wilkes Booth: his proud mother, his loyal sister, his conflicted fiancée, and a woman bound to him by tragic love.
Through their eyes, we witness the rise—and terrifying fall—of a man driven by ego, fame, and ideology.
