The Villainess Strikes Back (Fantasy)

Evelyn DuLac was born into a world that idolized its heroes and vilified anyone who dared to challenge the status quo. Once the feared sorceress of the Kingdom of Aldoria, Evelyn was betrayed by those she trusted and cast into the Abyss for crimes she did not commit. Her name became a cautionary tale, her story rewritten by the victors who painted her as the ultimate villainess.

But legends have a way of twisting the truth.

After centuries trapped in darkness, Evelyn emerges stronger, deadlier, and filled with a burning desire for vengeance. The world has changed, but its treacheries remain the same. The kingdom she once protected now crumbles under the weight of its own corruption, and the heroes who once stood against her are revered as false saviors.

Evelyn is determined to reclaim her legacy and expose the lies that led to her downfall. Armed with forbidden magic and an iron will, she forges uneasy alliances with rogues, outcasts, and those abandoned by the very kingdom she once fought to protect. But as she orchestrates her strike against the royal court, Evelyn discovers a startling truth: the forces that betrayed her are tied to an ancient, malevolent power that threatens to consume the entire realm.

Caught between her thirst for revenge and a reluctant duty to protect the kingdom, Evelyn must decide whether to embrace the darkness that the world sees in her-or rise above it to become something greater.

The Villainess Strikes Back is a tale of defiance, redemption, and the fine line between hero and villain. In a world of shifting allegiances and untold secrets, Evelyn's battle isn't just for revenge-it's for the right to decide her own fate.
