Anderlandbooks#PennedPossibilities 709 — Tell us how your MC and antagonist (or villain) know each other.
We'll revert to book 1 for this #LucieIsNew. And he is definitely an antagonist, not a villain.
Lucie has known her cousin Markus all her life. She admires him and even has/had a little crush on him (don't worry, I don't do love triangles, ever).
When Noel enters her life, it upsets all of Markus' plans for her, making him the eventual antagonist of book 1.
