Once There Was A Villain - Paperback

What if nobody ever came to save the princess in the tower?

What if she made her own escape?

What if she became the villain?

Vivienne Hawthorne has lived her entire life as a pampered, sheltered princess, but all that changes when an evil witch steals her away on her 16th birthday. Locked in a mysterious tower, she awaits her rescue, but as time passes she is forced to face the reality that no one is coming. With no choice but to make her own daring escape, a deep seed of anger takes root in Vivienne’s heart. Torn between the person she was and the person she’s becoming, Vivienne fights against a potent desire for revenge. She quickly learns that nothing is as it seems as her unexpected journey brings her face to face with cryptic prophecies, family secrets, and a handsome sorcerer she’s not sure she can trust. Her path will determine the fate of her kingdom, and her rage could be its destruction.

This is a clean YA fantasy fairy tale mashup with a no spice, slow-burn romantic subplot.
