The Vengeful Soul

She was never meant to be the villainess.
But in this world, fate has already decided her downfall.

Avariana Quentin was born into nobility, destined to marry the Crown Prince and become queen. But she knows how this story ends-because she has lived it before. In another reality, she watched her brother die, lost everything she loved, and became the villainess history condemned. And in the end, the prince, the so-called hero, was the one who killed her.

Not this time.

Armed with the memories of her past life, Avariana refuses to play the role fate has written for her. To survive, she must carve a new path-one that leads her away from ruin and toward power. But to do that, she needs an ally just as dangerous as she is.

Enter Lucien Nightborne, the king's illegitimate son. Feared, hated, and whispered to be the devil's heir, he was the villain of the original story. But Avariana knows that villains are far more useful than heroes.

The Crown Prince plans to break their engagement and humiliate her before the entire court. He thinks she will crumble. He thinks he has already won.

He couldn't be more wrong.

This time, the villainess will not fall.
