Ascension Of The Villain

In a world where villains are crafted, not born, Vyan's life takes a detour from dull to downright dramatic faster than he can say "abracadabra." Meet Vyan, the most ordinary knight in the realm, with all the magical prowess of a damp sock. Loyalty? He's got it in spades. Betrayal? Well, that's the surprise twist in his not-so-fairy-tale life. Framed and forsaken, Vyan is left with nothing but a grudge and some pretty gnarly scars, courtesy of his once-master, Iyana. Oh, did he mention she is the daughter of a marquess and the object of his unrequited affection? Talk about adding insult to injury. Just when he is ready to unleash his inner berserker, a butler comes along with news that makes his hair stand on end: Vyan is the last heir of the Grand Duke's mage dynasty! With power crackling at his fingertips and more mana than he can shake a wand at, Vyan is ready to show the world what happens when you underestimate the underdog. Will Vyan rise from the ashes like a phoenix, or will he crash and burn like a fire-breathing chicken? There's only one way to find out.

Shadow Of Doubt

Iyana's palm struck Terrence's desk with a sharp thud, making his quill jump and startling him from his paperwork. "What in the blazes, Terrence? Why would you arrest Vyan?"

Terrence sighed, casting his gaze heavenward as if silently cursing the fates for landing him on duty tonight of all nights. "Commander, I had no choice in the matter. The evidence speaks plainly against him."

"Just because someone claims to have seen him doesn't mean they are telling the truth," Iyana retorted, her glare fierce.

"Ah, if only it were one person," Terrence replied, rubbing his temples. "But three separate witnesses, Commander. Three! And a crowd to boot, all of whom heard His Grace threaten to end Marquess Ryen's life. Not exactly the jesting sort of threat, either."

Iyana folded her arms, the defiance in her stance clear. "People make threats to scare others—it's a tactic, nothing more. That's all Vyan was doing."
