I released the first single (False Memories) from my forthcoming cyberpunk album today (The Same Dream) which is heavily inspired by the aesthetic and iconography of Akira. binary-order.com
The Villainess is the Villainess — They say a picture is worth a thousand words, so here’s some artwork from my series. It’s a fun adventure where the villainess looks, acts, and feels like a true villainess, so don’t expect any namby-pamby redemption arcs here.
Actual blurb:
She will stop at nothing to claim the throne.
After striking a dangerous deal with a mysterious stranger, a wealthy, powerful woman finds herself trapped in the very fantasy game she helped create. Reborn as Seraphina de Sariens, daughter of a duke and engaged to a cold Crown Prince, she quickly learns she’s not the destined heroine but rather the villainess—fated to summon dark forces and be destroyed by the story’s true savior.
But the new Seraphina holds one advantage: a vast knowledge of the game’s world coupled with a ruthless ambition. With danger lurking at every corner and the shadow of treason threatening her life, she must maneuver through cutthroat politics and betrayals. If she succeeds in this realm, ultimate power will be hers—but if she fails, the price is death.
