Book description
LIMITED FIRST PRINT RUNโfeaturing spray-painted edges, while supplies last in the US and Canada only. "An engaging love story about finding strength in vulnerability." โKirkus Reviews NOTICE TO STAFF: There has been a disturbing increase in cheeriness, sprightly behavior, and overall optimism of late. Please resume your former dark, ominous terrors at your earliest convenience. --Mgmt 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.Reading Order: Book #1 Assistant to the VillainBook #2 Apprentice to the Villain
