Malice

Malice by Heather Walter

Book One of Malice

Every fairy tale has a villain. This is her story.

In a kingdom obsessed with beauty, obedience, and happily-ever-afters, Alyce has always been the girl they fear—the one whispered about, shunned, and blamed. Magic runs through her veins, dark and dangerous, and no matter how hard she tries to be good, the world insists she is destined to become something wicked.

When Alyce’s path collides with Princess Aurora, a fragile connection sparks—one that challenges everything Alyce has been taught about love, power, and her own fate. As court intrigue deepens and magic begins to awaken, Alyce must decide whether she will keep shrinking herself to survive… or finally embrace the darkness the world has chosen for her.

A lush, gothic reimagining of Sleeping Beauty, Malice explores villainy, identity, and the cost of being different in a world that demands perfection.
