Well, 'Reprisal' is purely fictional. It's crafted by the imagination of the writers and not based on real events. The plot and characters are all invented to engage the audience.
One possible form of reprisal based on a novel could be censorship. If the novel contains controversial ideas or themes that some groups find offensive, they might try to suppress it. For example, in the past, some novels with radical political or sexual content have faced censorship attempts.
It can also create a chilling effect. Publishers may be less likely to take on controversial novels if they anticipate reprisal. This means that some important and thought - provoking works may never see the light of day. For example, many great works of literature were initially controversial but are now considered classics. If reprisal had silenced their authors, we would have lost out on these masterpieces.
