In a world where the titles of hero and villain are passed down like nobility, Roman Foley has only ever been told one thing: he must kill the Villain.
But because he's supposed to be the Hero, he doesn't understand why this would do him any good if the Villain never hurt him in the first place.
And Elias Avila is having a similar problem. He was marked as the Villain from the day he was born, and told that he must slay the Hero. But why would he bother if they've never even met?
When, by chance, they stumble upon each other in the woods, the two discover a hideous secret - the reason they've been raised to kill.
And if they want to stop it, they'll have to act fast. Because darkness is already seeping into the light....

By Day and by Night
Through the darkness, the computer screen illuminated the pale skin of Adelae's face around the black mask. Scrolling through the submitted questions, she came across one that made her smile. "Dear Lady Shade," She read aloud to herself. "Why did you choose to be a villain instead of a hero?" She chuckled, shaking her head at the simple, loaded question, before selecting it and opening the page to write a reply. "Hello Blogger KittyStan41. I bet you're expecting the classic tragic backstory in response to this question." she typed. " Dead parents, treated like trash as a kid, and it all came to a choice between rising to defeat my inner demons or succumbing to them. Well, my real answer is possibly something you haven't considered about the world of Heroes and Villains. Answer this for me, what is the goal of a hero? To make the world a better place, perhaps? No, dear KittyStan41. The classic goals of the Hero might seem epic and noble, but in the end it all comes down to stopping the Villain. What kind of life is that, when your only goals derive from the actions of someone else? Your whole life is used up as a preventative measure. Now does that sound like a good way to live? "I chose to be a villain not because I enjoy hurting people, but because I have goals that I plan to achieve. Don't bother asking what they are. If I told you, everyone would know, and people (baby heroes) would get in the way. Then how would I achieve them? I aspire to more. Is there need for a better reason?"Complete

Hollow Crown
In a book filled with fantasy, you can typically think of those cliché stories where you already memorize the plot by heart. A villain will rise, draping its darkness into the world. The hero? Of course, he or she would save the world from falling. But... what if I tell you... that this book is totally different? That the protagonist is neither a hero nor a villain? So... what is she? ••• Synopsis: My skin is full of scars. Some were carved by others. But most, I gave myself. All her life, Ahvina's world revolved around the bitter scent of herbs and the quiet bubbling of potions. Nurturing her plants in daylight, offering gentle hands to the wounded, and selling her mother's herbal remedies to the townfolk. Ahvina knew from the moment she first opened her eyes, she knew her sole purpose was to end the pain of those who suffered. But mercy has many faces. And in Ahvina's hands, it could come as a cure... or as a final breath.

Cry Me A River
Valentine was an orphan with no memories of her family, all she had left was an old necklace-and the scars from years in an abusive relationship. When she finally escapes, she seeks protection from her old friend Kenji, a man she once secretly loved, despite knowing he could never love her back. But safety is fleeting. Kenji's domineering boyfriend exudes danger and dominance, in turn to always make Valentine feel on edge around him and the tension between the three of them crackles with dark, forbidden desires. Valentine discovers her bloodline is anything but innocent-she's the daughter of a fallen drug lord who before death claimed him left a promise of her hand in marriage to the powerful and brutal Caine family. Worse still, Tyler, her ex-boyfriend, knew it all along. His love was a lie, his only goal to secure a child and seal their family's legacy. Trapped between deadly secrets, a tempestuous connection with Kenji and his lover, and the dark legacy she's inherited, Valentine's life is a dangerous game of power, passion, and survival. Will she sink under the weight of her past, or rise to claim her own future?

Villain Complex [WATTYS WINNER 2022] [NOW PUBLISHED]
PREVIEW ONLY | WATTYS WINNER 2022 | If killing a superhero were easy, everyone would do it. But for Julian Godfrey, defeating Storm Warning was far from the hardest part. What began as victory over the city's biggest hero quickly unravels into a mess, once he learns that the mysterious source of Storm Warning's power has found a new host. Charlotte Hathaway has no idea how to use her new abilities, but she won't stop trying until she destroys Julian's alter ego, Citadel. Julian should have taken her new powers from her when he had the chance, but he let her go in favor of a new plan: training her for a real fight. It's the only way to prove he didn't get lucky when he killed Storm Warning, and show the city--and the other villains--that he's a force to be reckoned with. Getting close to Charlotte comes with far more than Julian bargained for. She's the perfect hero. Determined, confident, and selfless above all else. She's even nice to him, of all people. But if Julian doesn't follow through with his plan despite his growing feelings for her, he has another force to reckon with: Blazar, the villain who raised him and taught him to use his powers. It seems that no matter what choice Julian makes, he's going to lose. And it's not just his life in danger. With its biggest hero gone, the fate of the city of New Atlas hangs in the balance. *ANTIHEROES GALORE Badass Author Feature*
