![]() Shunned by most and hated by many, Alyce wishes to escape her life and leave the Briar, but when she meets the cursed Princess Aurora, she makes a friend. Her power is to create curses, poxes or to ease the death of the suffering. Alyce is the only Dark Grace, her blood green, not golden. Each year a few girls are born as Graces, their golden blood can be used to create magical elixirs for beauty, wisdom, or passion. ![]() The Kingdom of Briar has become powerful on the back of its magic. Can Alyce overcome all this prejudice and rise about it all, or will she show them the true power that she hides within? Malice by Heather Walter explores whether a person can avoid becoming a powerful villain or if fate inextricably leads there. The people hate her, but her elixirs are useful to them. ![]() Alyce is not a bad person, but her heritage as half-Vila makes her a pariah in the Kingdom of Briar. ![]() Are villains made or are they born? I believe more in nurture over nature, that someone is not born inherently evil but is made so by their experiences. ![]()
