Long Live Evil (Time of Iron Book 1)

About this book

When her life falls apart, Rae finds herself granted a desperate, magical second chance: she is transported directly into the pages of her favorite fantasy series. However, there is a catch. Instead of stepping into the shoes of the noble heroine, she awakens as the story’s designated villainess. In a kingdom teetering on the edge of catastrophe, she finds herself trapped in a narrative where her role is to lose, suffer, and die. Refusing to accept a tragic fate, Rae decides to embrace her villainous persona with style. She gathers a motley crew of outcasts and antagonists—including a lethal maid, a brooding knight, and a charming, notorious spymaster—to rewrite the script. Amidst the political machinations and rising body counts, Rae becomes dangerously entangled with the Once and Forever Emperor, an impossibly alluring figure whose power is as captivating as it is deadly. Featuring the high-stakes thrills of a portal fantasy and the tension of an enemies-to-lovers romance, *Long Live Evil* is a bold, subversive tale. As Rae fights to survive a world designed for her destruction, she must decide if she can truly change the ending or if the story’s dark design will ultimately consume them all.
