Now Available: Once a Villain by Vanessa Len!

We are thrilled to announce the official sale of Once a Villain, the much-anticipated conclusion to Vanessa Len’s acclaimed Only a Monster trilogy! This exclusive edition features breathtaking artwork by the talented Salome Totladze, making it a perfect addition to your collection. Plus, every purchase comes with a signed bookplate from the author as well as a luxurious scented item which will make you feel as if you are transported to the gothic streets of this new, monstrous London.

In this gripping finale, the stakes are higher than ever. Once a Villain combines the relentless romance and tension of Divine Rivals with the heart-pounding excitement of This Savage Song, plunging readers into a desperate race against time.

Joan has failed to stop Eleanor, who now reigns over a brutal new timeline where monsters openly prey on humans. Nick, once a beacon of hope for humanity and Joan's first love, grapples with the haunting consequences of his choice to save her at the expense of the timeline. Meanwhile, Aaron, the cold heir to a powerful monster family, finds himself navigating a world where monsters wield unimaginable power, all while his feelings for Joan intensify.

Caught in a tumultuous web of love and rivalry, the trio must confront their fractured pasts to survive and attempt to restore the timeline they once knew. But how can they challenge an entire world of monsters that control time itself?
