"Evie Sage has never been happier to be the assistant to The Villain. Who would have thought that working for an outrageously handsome (shhh, bad for his brand) evil overlord would be so rewarding? Still, the business of being bad is demanding, the forces of good are annoyingly persistent, and said forbidding boss is somewhat ... er, out-of-evil-office. But Rennedawn is in grave trouble, and all signs, Kingsley's included, point to catastrophe. Something peculiar is happening with the kingdom's magic, and it's made The Villain's manor vulnerable to their enemies ... including their nemesis, the king."-- Publisher

Evie Sage has never been happier to be the assistant to The Villain. Who would have thought that working for an outrageously handsome ( shhh, bad for his brand ) evil overlord would be so rewarding? Still, the business of being bad is demanding, the forces of good are annoyingly persistent, and said forbidding boss is somewhat...er, out-of-evil-office .

But Rennedawn is in grave trouble, and all signs--Kingsley's included--point to catastrophe. Something peculiar is happening with the kingdom's magic, and it's made The Villain's manor vulnerable to their enemies...including their nemesis, the king.

Now it's time for Evie to face her greatest challenge: protecting The Villain's lair, all of his nefarious works, and maybe (provided no one finds out) the entire kingdom. No pressure, Evie .

It's time to step out of her comfort zone and learn new skills. Like treason. Dagger work. Conspiring with the enemy. It's all so...so... delightfully fun .

But what happens when the assistant to The Villain is ready to become his apprentice?

The Assistant and the Villain series is best enjoyed in order.

Author Notes

Hannah Nicole Maehrer--or as TikTok knows her, @hannahnicolemae--is a fantasy romance author and BookToker with a propensity for villains. She grew up in Eastern Pennsylvania, watching Disney movies in her favorite rocking chair, where she spent hours imagining her own stories, creating entire worlds among the green walls of her living room. She kept her big dreams close as she went on to graduate with a bachelor's in psychology from Pennsylvania State University. Until one day her aspirations carried her to a small app on her phone that made those big dreams a reality. After developing the viral Assistant to the Villain TikTok series into a book, Hannah watched that world she always dreamed of take form.

Publisher's Weekly Review

The hijinks and inner battle between good and evil continue in Maehrer's heart-racing sequel to BookTok favorite Assistant to the Villain. With Trystan, the eponymous villain, kidnapped, Evie, his improbably cheery apprentice turned lover, will do anything to get him back, even if the plan she hatches involves her temporarily dying. As her ruse is revealed, however, so are Evie and Trystan's secret identities, putting them in even greater danger from the forces of good, led by the king. With help from surprising new allies, the duo work together to thwart the king and save magic. When Trystan receives a dire warning, however, he realizes that to protect Evie from harm, he has to stop loving her--but fighting his feelings proves harder than he expected, especially as stubborn Evie won't let him go without a fight. The cast is as funny, imperfect, and endearing as ever, and the central romance sings. Fans of the first book will get all that they came for. Agent: Brent Taylor, Triada US Literary. (Aug.)
