Vile & Virtue: The Beginning

Vile & Virtue, Book 1

De: Kathryn Ann Kingsley

Narrado por: John York

A dark tale like no other… I promise, I'd know.

Let me tell you about the game I'm playing with a delectable little librarian.

Why? Because I'm bored. Oh, don't give me that look. Darling, you have no idea.

I've been every villain humanity has ever dreamed up: the Napoleon of Crime, the Captain with the rusted hook, the monster in your closet, and the devil in the details. I've died a thousand deaths, and I've killed a thousand more, and frankly?

It's gotten terribly repetitive.

So when I found Sasha Lancaster—mousy little thing, all repressed desires and untapped darkness—I knew I'd discovered something rare.

A plaything with potential.

The rules are simple. I've pulled her and her darling twin sister, Sidney, into my world of fiction itself with my obnoxiously obstinate twin brother, Virtue. Three rounds. Three deaths. The last woman standing wins her freedom. Of course, there's an alternative: tell me a story I've never heard before, spin me a tale truly unique, and I'll let you both go home.

Impossible? Naturally. Entertaining? Immensely.

See you inside, lovelies.

- Vile

Perfect for fans of dark romance, twisted fairytales, and stories where the villain is just too delicious to resist. From the USA Today bestselling author of The Unseelie Prince, The Contortionist, and The Serpent's Bride comes this unique spin on retelling our favorite pieces of fiction. This one might just be a little more "meta" than most.
