Vile Lady Villains

Two legendary villains. A world of living stories. And a desire that could change everything.

With the consequences of her murderous actions closing in, Lady Macbeth turns to the three witches for help. A magical brew transports her to an unknown realm, where she opens a door and comes face to face with a beautiful woman drenched in blood.

The woman is Clytemnestra, Queen of Mycenae, who has just exacted bloody vengeance on her husband. When a mysterious doorway appears in her world, she mistakes Lady Macbeth for a supernatural spirit and pursues her into the realm of stories.

There, the two infamous women are hunted through worlds seemingly determined to destroy them. To survive, they must form an uneasy alliance – but can they trust the enigmatic goddess known as the Mistress of the House of Books, who claims to hold the key to their salvation?

As the dangers mount, their unlikely partnership gives way to a fiery attraction. Now they must choose: return to the tales that have defined them, or defy their fates and create a new story together.

Vile Lady Villains by Danai Christopoulou is a dark and dramatic fantasy featuring literary and mythological retellings, deadly intrigue, and intense romance. Perfect for readers who love complex female characters, dangerous alliances, and stories in which the villains finally get to write their own destinies.
