The Criswell's Curse

Author's Note

Author's Note

Jan 03, 2024

Hello everyone!

For some, this story might be new but to others it might be a trip down memory lane. This is a rewritten version of my original novel "The Heroine is a Villainess".

 

Thus, for new (and old) readers, please be aware of the following before digging into it:

The main character is a villain and she will act as such - meaning her actions and decisions are far from morally correct.
If that isn't your cup of tea, then you won't enjoy the story.

The story itself is heavy and dark and depicts the following content* in some of its chapters:

Graphic Content (Murder, Swearing/Slurs, Gore Descriptions, Violence)
Mental Health Issues (Self-Harm, Suicide)
Abuse (Child Abuse, Harassment, Sexual Abuse)
Sexual Topics (Consensual Sex, Non-Con/Rape)
Other (Manipulation, Age Gap/Pedophilia, Drug Use, Slavery)

Reader discretion is advised.

*Please keep in mind that these are necessities for the story to go on at the time of its execution (medieval times). None of these are glorified in any manner and are heavily critized within the novel and by myself.

 

While reading, if you find any typos or have any type of constructive criticism, such is very welcome! Reviews and praises are also very appreciated (of course)!

If you'd like to support my work further I have opened a Patreon where you can read from one to two weeks ahead of the free releases.

I've also set up a Discord Server for those who are interested in joining the community and supporting my diverse areas of work.

Last but not least, for those who knew me from before, yes I am finally healed from my illness and will be posting far more regularly. Thank you for all your wishes and for cherishing this story; you are truly the reason why I didn't give up on improving it further.

 

Thank you so much for everything and give a brand new welcome to Ophelia in...

The Criswell's Curse

 

P.S.: With the rewritting of the story some parts changed so you might want to read it again! For those who don't wish to/don't want to, I'll add the changed details into the Glossary before posting the third volume (which will still take some time to come out).

Ophelia lived. Then she died.
Like clockwork, her death was predetermined by the flames of fate, emerging in the darkness of her 18th birthday. Yet, time rewinded. Again. And again. After 9 lives of being abused, neglected, married off to monsters instead of men, she had enough.
A saint, some called her. A vixen, others murmured. No one in the high nobility knew who this girl truly was, yet none seemed to not yearn for more, to look away from her bewitching grace. And as chess pieces gather, from the most eligible bachelors in the kingdom to women with peculiar tastes; Ophelia observes the pawns slowly moving, their actions causing bloodshed everywhere they touch. And she loves it.
Has her soul become evil, or has she merely gone insane?

Sneak Peak:
"
“You are both revoked from your duties as my handmaids and hereby expelled from the Wharton’s estate.”
“Thank you, milady!”
“But, since you damaged the dresses, you are to repay their full price within three years. If you refuse or fail to obey this command, you’ll have two fingers removed. Pack your things and go.”
“But that’s impossible! You know we can’t pay that amount! You are dooming us to fail, Ophelia!”
The Duke was standing at the corner of the room, looking at them as if they were nothing but mere ants, ready to be squashed at a moment’s notice; however, reality only sunk when they saw the wide grin on my lips. It was satisfying, so satisfying.
“I don’t recall giving you permission to address me so casually.” My figure leaned forward, approaching their desperate expressions with a wide grin. “You’ve raised me since I was but an infant, however, my mercy won’t be tested any further.”
"

Please read the Author’s Note before digging into the story, it is very short.
Thank you!
