Vile & Virtue: The Beginning

About this book

When a mysterious stranger thrusts an ancient book into Sasha Lancaster’s hands, he leaves behind a cryptic warning: burn it or be trapped. Choosing to keep the volume, Sasha and her twin sister, Sidney, are pulled into a surreal dimension constructed from the foundations of all fiction. There, they fall under the control of Vile and Virtue, twin demigods embodying the archetypes of every villain and hero ever written. Bored by eternity, these powerful beings force the sisters into a deadly game, pitting them against one another across classic literary worlds ranging from Neverland to Wonderland. The stakes are absolute: lose the game, and you lose your life. To escape this meta-fictional prison, the sisters must accomplish the impossible by telling the demigods a story they have never heard. Sasha finds herself tethered to Vile, a mind-reading nightmare who balances poetic flirtation with lethal intent. As she navigates this high-stakes competition, Sasha discovers that the monster who wants her dead is the same one who leaves her breathless. Featuring the beloved enemies-to-lovers trope, this dark, imaginative tale forces Sasha to decide if she is fighting for her survival or falling for her captor.
