Thorns of the Forgotten Villainess She was never meant to survive. Now she will rule them all. When Aurelia Vex awakens in the body of a reviled villainess from a fantasy novel, she knows exactly how her story ends-betrayed by ten powerful men, executed by royal decree, and remembered only as a footnote in the rise of a flawless heroine. But Aurelia is no puppet. Once a ruthless CEO and deadly bodyguard in the modern world, she now wields shadowflame magic and a mind sharpened by war, strategy, and ambition. She will not kneel to fate. She will not die forgotten. One by one, she turns the ten men destined to destroy her into loyal allies... and passionate lovers. One by one, she unravels the lies of the perfect heroine... revealing the darkness beneath her halo. And as kingdoms tremble and prophecies falter, Erisia will rise-not as a villainess, not as a savior, but as a queen forged by fire, fury, and thorns. Power is not given. It is taken.

Kept alive far past her time to fulfil a purpose long since fulfilled, Crest, an ancient Guardian of the Keep, is less than pleased when she is awoken to fight the Evil from the Sea. Again. Worse, she discovers that she has become a sort of patron spirit to the wolves of the Keep. Forced to play court in the same song and dance and furious at their blatant idolatry, Crest keeps the very wolves she's promised to protect at a frigid distance as she searches for a way to free herself from the cycle. But as Crest's searching takes her down darker and darker paths, one wolf, Swallow, sees the spray from the waves and brings a question to light: Will Crest turn her back on the Keep and all those who keep her bound, or in her efforts to free herself, will she let them die? Is it only the Keep who has forgotten the ways of old, or is Crest too set adrift? ·°‧ ༄༄༄◃✦▹༄༄༄ ‧°· "Sequel" to and set in the same world as Where the Star Weeps. !ONLY ON WATTPAD!
