Villainous Thing is a dark romantic fantasy about the cost of belonging, the seduction of power, and a woman desperate enough to become a monster-if it means finally being seen.
Vash'Nurath wanted nothing more than to heal a merciless world. It's why she abandoned her prestigious role in her people's genocidal war. Why she stayed with the knight-errants known as the Adlers.
But when they banish her for killing a nobleman in broad daylight-when she decides that justice demands retribution-she finds a new life with the one man the city views with as much suspicion as her. Count Silas Mordhau. A recluse. A raconteur. And secretly: a criminal mastermind. He offers her sanctuary, revenge, and a love that doesn't flinch at her green skin or the psionic gifts her people are known for.
He calls her his beloved. He calls her a villainous thing.
She's learning to wear the name.
And may the gods help any who come between them.
