Two of literature's most infamous women villains meet beyond the boundaries of their own stories in this dark, imaginative sapphic romance. Vile Lady Villains brings Lady Macbeth and Klytemnestra together in a strange realm of stories, where survival demands an alliance and dangerous attraction threatens to rewrite the roles they were destined to play.

The Vibe

Lady Macbeth has always known the consequences of the choices she made. When she turns to the three witches for help, she is transported somewhere beyond the familiar world of Shakespeare's tragedy. There, she encounters another woman drenched in blood, a queen whose own story is steeped in vengeance and violence.

Klytemnestra has been pulled from her own legendary tale, and neither woman has any intention of trusting the other. But when they find themselves hunted through strange worlds filled with wraiths and other literary figures, cooperation becomes their only chance of survival.

As their uneasy alliance deepens, so does the attraction between them. The result is a lush, gothic adventure about two women who have been defined by the stories written about them and must decide whether they will continue to follow those paths or forge something of their own.

Blending Greek mythology, Shakespearean tragedy, literary crossover, horror, and sapphic romance, Vile Lady Villains is an especially compelling choice for readers who love morally complicated women, feminine rage, dark fairytale atmospheres, and romances that feel as dangerous as they are irresistible.
