Revenge books
Stories driven by vengeance and what it costs. The Godfather shows a family settling scores, V for Vendetta follows a masked man paying back a fascist state, and Leigh Bardugo's Crooked Kingdom sees Kaz Brekker plan an elaborate revenge. In A Storm of Swords and Pierce Brown's Golden Son, old debts of blood shape entire wars. Justice and revenge are rarely the same thing here.
