A book that broadens the limitations of identity, The Girl with Many Names is a dark retelling that combines myth and fairy tale into a single chronological narrative. You’ve known them by their empty titles and wicked deeds, but their lives and motives have traditionally been eclipsed by the legacy of undoubted heroes. Through a different perspective, however, the mask of anonymity is finally removed to expose the many faces of the once nameless villain. The story follows an antihero on a journey of self-discovery that’s driven by the yearning to belong. Born with magic in a realm intolerant of sorcery, she endures ridicule and misfortune at every turn, thus muddying the line dividing justice and vengeance. As the truth of her past begins to reveal itself, she struggles to disprove the villainous reputation thrust upon her, an endeavor that threatens the restraint on her growing powers. But an obscure prophesy—a portent of a grave threat to the realm—seems to dictate her fate, triggering a chain of events that would culminate in a decisive battle of nature versus nurture.

This work of fiction is a tapestry woven from the fabric of several timeless tales, illustrating an entirely new picture that will challenge everything you thought you knew.
