Once upon a time, you forgot who you were—on purpose. You handed the pieces to someone named Velvet Echo and walked away smiling like it didn't hurt. But what if those pieces didn't stay forgotten?

This isn't your usual cozy fantasy. It's a mythpunk musical fairytale for the ones who were handed the wrong role, labeled villain for being too much, too strange, or too bright. Inside you'll meet a prince who's bad at being bad, a prophecy-farting sidekick, a teacup oracle with attitude, a crayon that tells the truth in color, and a chalk-dusted rule-enforcer who means well and ruins everything.

The Villain Who Aches to Be Remembered is a story of remembering what you exiled to survive—and deciding to rewrite the story anyway. Includes short stories, original songs, and character sigils from the Scene Zero mythpunk opera series.

Velvet Echo claims he wrote the first draft. Plotty tried to eat it. Either way, it's yours now.
