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 gave myself the privilege of staying an extra half an hour in bed, then I took a bath, changed into another pair of training clothes, this time with more ice blue and gold together with the black, the colors of my house.

{"You're anxious,"} he said as I adjusted Kallisto in my belt and I rolled my eyes.

"No shit? I went overboard. I got mad."

{"Because she mentioned the General?"}

"Not just because of that," I swallowed, "but because of the way she was looking at me, as if she was trying to see past my walls, to grab me out of whatever hole I was throwing myself into to stay out of touch. She said she wanted to save me," bitterness slipped from my tongue. "Save me from what? Myself?"

{"Given your masochist tendencies..."}

My eyes snapped at him sharp, "I am not a masochist."

{"You certainly act like one,"} Chaos scoffed.
