Princess Natasha Nicholai had spent thirteen years drenched in blood, a weapon in her twin sister Dalilah’s hands. Manipulated by Dalilah’s cunning cruelty, Natasha unknowingly carried out the slaughter of hundreds of innocents—including her own brother and dearest friend, Valerian. The weight of her crimes crushed her, but not before they finally caught up to her. In the shadow of the Imperial Palace, her execution was swift and cold—a fitting end for a pawn of betrayal.

But fate wasn’t done with her yet.

Instead of meeting eternal death, Natasha awakens in her own past, months before her fourteenth birthday—the day Dalilah’s control began. Staring at the familiar walls of her childhood, Natasha is haunted by the faces of those she once killed and the blood on her hands. This time, she vows, will be different. No longer will she be Dalilah’s puppet. This time, she will protect her younger brother, shield her friends from the senseless bloodshed, and dismantle her sister’s twisted schemes before they take root.

And this time, she will make Dalilah pay.

But as Natasha seeks her revenge, she uncovers dark secrets that go far beyond her sister’s betrayal. Someone stole her magic when she was only four years old, leaving her vulnerable to Dalilah’s manipulation. Someone—some force—gave her this second chance. But why? And for what purpose?

Her search for answers brings her face to face with Ethan Theodore, a dangerous man cloaked in shadows, whose ruby-red eyes seem to see straight into her soul. He is an enigma, bound to her fate by a thread she can’t quite unravel. Whether he will help her or destroy her remains a mystery.

In ‘The Villainess is Back to Life', Natasha must confront the demons of her past, carve her own path forward, and unravel the web of magic and destiny that binds her. In a world where betrayal is blood-deep and fate is as unforgiving as steel, she will have to decide whether to become the hero of her own story—or embrace the villainy she once lived.

The Villainess is Back to Life

"I think that you were so hurt by people who didn't accept you the way you are, that now you don't understand how people might like you even when you don't like them. You don't understand what people see in you, and you are always suspicious of them. I think you don't want to take the risk of being wrong about them."

"Of discovering that they just like you for the way you are, not expecting to gain anything from you. You are already comfortable in that zone where you believe you can't trust anyone, where you believe everybody around you might try to hurt you, to harm you," his eyes found mine and the kindness I saw on them gave me goosebumps.

"Are you going to say you know that because you are the same?" He giggled.

The only strange thing is that now I see why grandma told me we were more similar than I could imagine. Seems like she was right, again.
