Macbeth
A power-hungry Scottish man and his wife learn the price they will pay for violently seizing the throne. The story is filled with ghosts, witches, and intrigue.

He has a lot of people trying to take his place as king.
A Scottish soldier (Macbeth) and his friend (Banquo) are met by three strange witches bearing prophetic greetings. Macbeth is told that, among other titles, he will become king.

The setting is mostly in Camp Half-Blood, on a ship, or fighting enemies, but the conflict of the story
