A revenge story
 The dictionary.com definition of revenge is, “The action of inflicting hurt or harm on someone for an injury or wrong suffered at their hands.” Books meeting this prompt will feature a character taking or enacting revenge for some reason.

The book may feature the word “Revenge” in the title. The revenge may be carried out by the protagonist, or by a secondary character attempting to destroy or overthrow the main character. While it is up to you to decide what you classify as a “revenge story” we would consider it to be part of the main plot point or overarching theme of the book.
