Rebel Destiny is the third and final book in a new urban fantasy trilogy set in the Villain Academy world. Enter here for magical conspiracies, an outcast heroine, and a fraught romance where she'll get to keep both her suitors.

A whole family of monsters has menaced my home for far too long. And in the battle to take them down, one of resurrected gangsters I love may have lost his life all over again. Am I pissed off? Understatement of the century. But my men have already survived one set of murders. I made it out of the looney bin and rescued my sister. We've proven we don't back down...even when maybe we should. The villains have way more people, more money and more power than we can wrap our heads around. But we've still got a few tricks up our sleeves.

The battle lines have been drawn. My fellow scions and I stand on one side and the power-hungry barons on the other. The scheme they've put in motion could shatter both our community and the non-magical world. Neither I nor the guys I love are willing to let that happen, but with the barons throwing both laws and parental bonds aside, we're short on options. The fate of our world could come down to a literal battle for our lives - one I'm not sure we have any hope of winning.

I was starting to think I knew what I was dealing with here at the university best known as Villain Academy. Not so much. But can I really trust a shocking revelation from someone who's proven to be my enemy? There's no way to answer that without diving in. If my mother is still out there alive, I have to uncover the truth. Even if it means putting myself back in the hands of the mages who've betrayed me before.

When the vicious ruling mages launched a war against their heirs, they tore the magical community in two — and I walked out on my family to stand with their enemies. You could say I was championing compassion over tyranny, but really it was pure self-preservation. Two years after our victory, I’m tutoring a way-too-charming heir who’s totally off limits, dodging my parents’ vengeful spells, and trying to figure out where I’ll land after graduation. My once-prestigious ancestry isn’t doing me any favors. Most of my peers look at me with more suspicion than warmth.

I thought I'd found a way to destroy the malicious power Roseborne College held over all its students - but I seem to have unleashed a host of fresh horrors, instead. The school's ruling spirits are flying free, even more intent on tormenting us. Visions from the worst moments of our pasts are stalking us like ghosts, and my foster brother may have fallen too far into his monstrous nature to be saved.

I've won one victory against my enemies, but it seems the barons are just getting started with their new, vicious schemes. They'll stop at nothing to expand their power. Any move I make to oppose them could have horrible consequences for both me and the guys I love. My only hope is playing along until the right opportunity comes my way. There's a chance I could sway my mother if I can earn her trust. She may be brutal when she feels she needs to be, but I've seen glimpses of a softer side underneath.

I thought I was fighting to prove myself, but it turns out I’ve been duped. The traitor betrayed...I guess there’s a certain poetic irony to that. Unfortunately, neither poetry nor irony is going to get me or the guy I inadvertently dragged into this mess to safety. I’ve got nothing left to bargain with. So when the worst of our betrayers offers us a way out, what choice do I have but to take it?

Ich wollte einfach nur die Verbrecher auf Distanz halten, für die ich arbeite, und meinen kleinen Bruder aus dem schrecklichen Haus unserer Mutter rausholen. Dann starb ich und wachte zum Anblick von vier atemberaubend heißen Göttern auf, die mir erzählten, ich wäre jetzt eine Walküre.

Es gibt keinen Frieden für diese vor kurzem wiederbelebte Walküre. Asgards größter Feind will das Reich der Götter und das der Menschen für sich beanspruchen, und aufgrund der Armee, die er versammelt hat, stehen unsere Chancen nicht gut. Kann es überhaupt noch schlimmer werden? Ja. Wie sich herausstellt, sind die Götter doch nicht unsterblich. Wenn sich dieser machthungrige Riese durchsetzt, werden meine vier neuen Liebhaber nicht nur ihr Zuhause, sondern auch ihr Leben verlieren.

Wer hätte gedacht, dass ich sterben muss, um meine Berufung zu finden? Ich habe mich noch nie so lebendig gefühlt wie jetzt, da meine Walküre-Kräfte stärker werden und ich die superheißen nordischen Götter an meiner Seite habe, die mich wiederauferstehen ließen. Wenn ich mir doch nur einen Moment gönnen könnte, um mein neues Zuhause in Asgard zu genießen. Leider hat unser jüngster Triumph einen machtgierigen Riesen erzürnt, der mich erneut töten will zusammen mit allen und allem, was mir wichtig ist.

In der einen Minute war ich eine Kurierin für Kriminelle und schlug mich durchs Leben, damit ich mich um meinen kleinen Bruder kümmern konnte. In der nächsten holten mich vier atemberaubend heiße nordische Götter von den Toten zurück, Flügel ragten aus meinem Rücken und ich besaß eine ganze Reihe Walküre-Kräfte.
