After the king’s sudden death, young queen Lindy is trapped inside a kingdom that already hates her. Rumors whisper that she bewitched the throne, murdered her husband, and plans to steal the crown from the seven princes who despise her. But the truth is far messier—and far more dangerous.
When one reckless act of heartbreak and rage transforms the princes into swans, Lindy is forced into the wilderness with seven cursed boys, a growing storm of enemies behind her, and a secret she can no longer outrun: maybe the villain everyone fears is real after all.
But monsters are rarely born.
Most are simply unloved for too long.
Filled with sharp banter, aching romance, cursed royalty, morally gray magic, and fairy-tale chaos, Pretty Little Villain is a darkly whimsical fantasy romance perfect for readers who love broken heroines, enemies-to-lovers tension, and stories where the “villain” might deserve the happy ending most of all.
