Heart of the Villain by Dany Crooks

Every villain has a story.
This is Marlena Caelum’s.

Born to rule, Marlena is thrust into a world of politics and power before most children have even manifested their gods-given ability. With traditions passed down through the generations, Marlena becomes subject to her mother and father’s grueling lessons and nearly unattainable expectations.
After years of burying her parents’ cruelty, Marlena snaps, and nothing can stop her from seeking revenge. Until the unexpected happens, and Marlena falls for a powerless girl who shows her who she could have been.
But love is fleeting, and nothing good lasts forever.

Obsessed with proving the people who doubted her wrong, Marlena does the unthinkable, and this time, her heart won’t get in the way.
