The Villainous Heroine

They called Alessria a monster.
They crowned Kathryn a saint.

Accused of poisoning her half-sister - the beloved future queen of Etheria - Alessria is branded a traitor and sentenced to death. No trial. No mercy. No chance to defend herself. The kingdom celebrates as she is left to die in the dungeons, convinced the villain has finally been defeated.

But Alessria never touched the poison.

Every cruel rumor. Every false accusation. Every moment she was painted as dangerous was part of a flawless lie-one carefully crafted by the very sister she once loved, protected, and trusted.

Death should have been the end of her story.

Instead, Alessria wakes up fifteen years in the past, trapped in her thirteen-year-old body, with the memories of her death still burning in her mind. This time, she knows the truth. This time, she knows how everything will unfold.

And this time, she refuses to lose.

Given a second chance by the Gods above, Alessria begins dismantling Kathryn's schemes before they can take root-pulling at loose threads, exposing cracks in the perfect image the kingdom worships. But as fate starts to change, Alessria discovers something far more terrifying than her sister's betrayal.

Someone else is watching.
Someone else is manipulating the throne.

Now, Alessria must do more than survive her past. She must outplay the villain who destroyed her future, uncover the true evil lurking behind Etheria's crown, and reclaim the story that was stolen from her.

Because this time?

She won't be the villain.
She'll be the heroine.
