Accused of murdering her own father and sister, eighteen-year-old Riley is condemned without trial. Her sentence: to be thrown into a corporate-run simulation where criminals are forced to play roles for the public’s entertainment. And the audience has already decided how her story should end—with her death.
Reborn as Raven Vidier, the villainess destined to fall, Riley is meant to be humiliated, hunted, and silenced. The corporation wants her gone. The viewers want her suffering. And the script demands she die.
But Riley refuses to play along.
Armed with nothing but her own stubborn will, a mysterious fox-shaped avatar, and a cursed prince who should be her enemy, she fights to tear free of the part she’s been forced to play. Can she rewrite her fate and expose the truth behind her sentence—or will she become the very villain the world wants her to be?
In a world built to destroy her, survival might be the most treasonous act of all.
