the hero the villain

What started out as a novella, changed and evolved into a NA fantasy duology. It is split into two parts, the first the Hero and the second the Villain. Through these parts, the readers understand both sides of the twin siblings, Amar and Myah, and how they deal with the knowledge of being the reincarnations of powerful entities.

This epic duology is filled with heartbreak, action, and friendship. It deals with acceptance, darkness, light, and family. Both Amar and Myah must keep their true intentions from the Order, the ones who raised them and broke them, one by one.

Amar's story begins with his death, finding himself floating in a Void of darkness. He's been killed, but death doesn't keep him for long. Amar must come to terms with his role in the Three Provinces, but with the Order constantly whispering in his ear even the Hero can be corrupted. The Order sees him as tool, Amar dead in their eyes, and all that remains is the Hero, their puppet. They force him commit unspeakable deeds and ultimately prepare him to end the Villain's life, his sister. But can Amar fight to save his family and himself?

Myah's story begins with learning the truth of the Order and how far they will go to ensure control over the Hero. She is locked in the Tower for five years and made into a weapon. Traveling through the Three Provinces, Myah finds a new family among her friends and challenges how people view darkness. But with the Order after her, Myah and her friends can't stop for a second. She struggles to try to control this energy inside her and, at times, is drowning in her own self-hatred. She wants to believe there's good inside of her, but it might be too late. It's kill or be killed. Which will Myah choose?
