by M.L. Rio
Compare to estimated retail price: S$29.19  

The item you've got your eye on is secondhand. You probably already know that, but just in case!

If We Were Villains
If We Were Villains

Dark academia entwines with Shakespearean betrayal.

"If We Were Villains" will delight you if you're captivated by the undercurrents of intense friendships and the darkness that can lurk within them. Think of it as immersing yourself in a tight-knit group of theatrical students where the line between performance and reality blurs dangerously. It's a compelling dive into how roles can define us, and how secrets and allegiances can create a harrowing narrative, especially for those who appreciate the dramatic flourishes of Shakespearean influence.

Note: While we do our best to ensure the accuracy of cover images, ISBNs may at times be reused for different editions of the same title which may hence appear as a different cover.

Description

Oliver Marks has just served ten years in jail - for a murder he may or may not have committed. On the day he's released, he's greeted by the man who put him in prison. Detective Colborne is retiring, but before he does, he wants to know what really happened a decade ago. As one of seven young actors studying Shakespeare at an elite arts college, Oliver and his friends play the same roles onstage and off: hero, villain, tyrant, temptress, ingenue, extra. But when the casting changes, and the secondary characters usurp the stars, the plays spill dangerously over into life, and one of them is found dead. The rest face their greatest acting challenge yet: convincing the police, and themselves, that they are blameless.
