After her untimely death, a modern woman awakens in the body of Evangeline du Verne, the notorious villainess in a historical romance tale. Born to a powerful duke's family, Evangeline knows her life is destined for ruin-her engagement broken, her reputation destroyed, and her life overshadowed by the heroine, Catherine de Lys.

But Evangeline has no intention of being outshined. Armed with knowledge of the story, she begins building alliances and mastering the art of high-society intrigue from a young age.

Her rival, Catherine, appears angelic and kind, but Evangeline quickly discovers her true nature: a manipulative, two-faced white lotus who uses her innocence as a weapon. When their battle begins during Evangeline's debut, the noble world watches as the villainess and heroine clash for power, love, and control of their destinies.

But fate has a surprise in store-because this time, it's the villainess everyone falls in love with.

A Fate Forged in Legends and Bones by wvgirl123
31 parts Ongoing Mature
Evangeline Blake believes in facts, not fairy tales. As a history student in the modern world, she stumbles upon an obscure book detailing the legend of the Velcorian Empire and its infamous warlord, Kastiel Drovac. The myth interests her, but that's all it ever is-a story. Until she finds an antique necklace that won't come off and wakes up in the very empire she read about. Kastiel, the man whose name filled the book's pages, is real-and far more terrifying in person. Scarred by war and betrayal, he has no patience for a woman who shouldn't exist in his world. Evangeline is just as desperate to escape him as he is to be rid of her. But when the necklace awakens a power long thought lost-the ability to control life and death-Kastiel realizes he can't let her go. Hatred simmers between them. He is violent, unyielding, and sees her as a burden. She fears him, refuses to trust him, and clings to the hope of returning home. But war forces strange alliances, and when betrayal from Kastiel's inner circle delivers Evangeline into the hands of the emperor, both of them must confront an unsettling truth-they may be each other's only salvation. The emperor offers Evangeline a choice: fight for him against the rebellion or be forced into marriage, ensuring his heirs inherit her power. Desperate to escape, she uncovers a secret that ties her fate to Kastiel's more than either of them realized-his mother, a woman who once wore the same necklace, may have walked between their worlds before her. As the upcoming war reaches its breaking point, Kastiel and Evangeline must face an impossible choice-fight for a love that was never meant to last or let history take its course. But some stories refuse to fade, and as legends are rewritten, Evangeline will come to learn that myths are not just born from the past-they are shaped by those who live them.

8 parts Ongoing Mature
In the glittering yet merciless world of the English aristocracy, Evangeline Montague-Pembroke is a woman both admired and condemned. A mulâtresse born into nobility, she has been raised by her uncle, shadowed by past tragedies and bound by duty to restore her family's legacy. As she steps into society as a debutante, her beauty is undeniable-but it is her honeyed skin and foreign features that invite whispers instead of proposals. Despite the murmurs, Evangeline is determined to secure a wealthy and respectable husband, a man who will look beyond the scandal of her birth and help her fulfill her late father's final wish. On the other end of the ballroom, Lawrence Ellsworth, the Duke of Appleton, has no such romantic aspirations. A man of duty and unapologetic indulgence, he prefers his world structured by land, estate, and the occasional company of women who require nothing more than a fleeting night. His mother, however, has different plans-plans that involve a love match for her son. Lawrence at last surrendered to his mother's wishes to see him married , conceding that a refined, porcelain-skinned lady of noble birth and impeccable manners was the final obligation he must fulfill as the Duke of Appleton. But fate is rarely so obedient. As Evangeline and Lawrence cross paths in a world dictated by rules, lineage, and whispered betrayals, they soon realize that neither duty nor reason holds power over the heart. And when hearts begin to beat against the walls of propriety, scandal is never far behind...
