A world-burning romance between literature's most famous Lady Villains, Lady Macbeth and Klytemnestra . . . Lady Macbeth turns to the three witches for advice. She's given a brew that transports her to a strange realm. Desperately lost, she opens a door to a woman drenched in blood. Klytemnestra is exacting bloody vengeance on her husband. Yet an otherworldly door appears and a strange woman steps in. Thrown into unknown territory, the pair are forced to form an alliance or perish. Yet the realm's goddess, The Mistress of the House of Books, claims to hold the key to saving them. But can they trust her? As every threat brings our vile lady villains closer into fiery attraction, they have a choice- remain within the confines of their original tales ... Or burn down the world to pen a new story together . . .
