An enemies to lovers tale about a desperate mortal woman and a cursed fae prince.
Darkly funny and brimming with magic, These Vile Hearts manages to be both wicked and warm, beguiling and moving—a richly woven story of survival and fate.
Máire Roche
Author of Bromantasy
"A new queen of the fae has arrived and her name is Melody Robinette. As intoxicating as fairy wine and as sharp as a dryad’s dagger, These Vile Hearts is both entirely unique and wonderfully familiar—the diabetic fae bargain of my most decadent dreams. Robinette weaves unflinching diabetic lived experience into a brilliant tapestry of magic, romance, and banter. Fans of The Cruel Prince and Emily Wilde are in for a treat. But beware, one bite won’t be enough."
Clare Edge

"Melody Robinette shines with this absolute delight of a debut novel! These Vile Hearts contains everything I want in a romantasy: magical world-building, relatable characters, and enough sexual tension to have me kicking my feet. Maddox and Castor are two sharply drawn leads who not only have sizzling chemistry, but also have incredibly realistic personal journeys. I am already begging for more!"
Falon Ballard
Author of Something Wicked
"Robinette’s debut is an exciting, fast-paced romantasy that will have readers anticipating another installment. Recommend this story of deception and intrigue to fans of Hannah Whitten’s For the Wolf."
Library Journal
"Woven with imaginative world-building, crackling wit, and charming romance, These Vile Hearts is a sumptuous modern fairytale that pairs sweeping magic with the quiet realities of living with chronic illness. A truly original and enchanting debut."
