Seven Seas Licenses The Wicked Princess and The Twelve Eyes: The Legendary Villainess and Her Elite Assassins Light Novel (Airship Imprint)

(March 12, 2025) — Seven Seas Entertainment is excited to announce the license acquisition of the light novel The Wicked Princess and The Twelve Eyes: The Legendary Villainess and Her Elite Assassins by Daken and saino. Betrayed and framed by the crown prince, one woman gets a second chance to avoid death and exact her revenge in this action fantasy light novel! From the author of Who Killed the Hero? and When the Monster Meat I Ate Led Me to the Throne.

Lady Selina was betrayed by the crown prince, framed for a crime she didn't commit, and executed by poison. That should have been the end of her story—until time rewound, handing her a second chance.

This time, she's not holding back. After all, that “murder” she was accused of was just a little misunderstanding! Dropping a flowerpot on the saintess's head isn't exactly lethal. Reflecting on her downfall, Selina realizes she didn't fail because of her schemes. She failed because she didn't have loyal minions to execute them properly.

Determined to rewrite her fate, she takes in a group of orphans with nothing to lose and subjects them to grueling, cutthroat training. What emerges isn't just a team of assassins—they're the deadliest, most fanatically devoted elite the kingdom has ever seen. And they answer only to her.

Armed with her overpowered entourage and sharp wit, Selina is ready to crush anyone who stands in her way. Dive into a chaotic adventure where a morally flexible villainess embraces her second chance, seeking revenge and rewriting the rules of heroism.

The Wicked Princess and The Twelve Eyes: The Legendary Villainess and Her Elite Assassins (Light Novel) Vol. 1 will be printed for the first time in the English language in November 2025 for $15.99 USA / $20.99 CAN in a single-volume edition as part of Seven Seas' Airship imprint. An ebook edition will also be available on digital platforms.
