Behold the True Villainess

When a young woman from the modern world awakens inside the body of Niveia Aerber, she finds herself inhabiting the main character of a fantasy novel she had once read. The realm of Erathil is a dangerous place, filled with monsters and betrayal, and the original Niveia was destined to die young. Determined to escape that fate, the new Niveia abandons the path laid out for her. The former Niveia was meant to become the next Priestess of the Grand Temple, but this version refuses that calling and flees—not only from the temple but also from her archrival, Rosanna, and her betrothed, Duke Aetius Timothero. Along the way, she enlists the help of Prince Caeles, who is pursuing a mission of his own: discovering which noble families are plotting an uprising against his kingdom. Niveia’s own family is among those under suspicion, drawing her into a perilous web of political intrigue. Amid a chaotic storm of love, loyalty, and treason, she must navigate a world that seeks to control her. Can Niveia forge a better future for herself in Erathil—and, more importantly, can she ever return to the real world?
