Accomplice to the Villain

Once Upon a Time meets The Office in this laugh-out-loud romantasy book based on Hannah Nicole Maehrer's viral TikTok series about the sunshine assistant to an Evil Villain... and their unexpected romance.

REWARD OFFERED: Apprentice to The Villain wanted for treason (light), magical property damage (alleged), and one incident involving a weaponised scone (accurate). Frequently seen with a grumpy frog (crowned, judgmental). Answers to "Evie" or "Stop that."

Evie Sage didn't mean to become the right-hand woman to the kingdom's most terrifying villain. One minute, she was applying for an entry-level position that promised "light paperwork and occasional beheadings," and the next, she was knee-deep in magical mayhem, murder plots, and an entirely inappropriate crush on her brooding, sharp-jawed, walking disaster of a boss.

Now, with a magical prophecy unravelling, assassins showing up in the break room, and a suspicious amount of frogs wearing crowns, Evie has to figure out how to survive her job without setting the kingdom on fireβ€”or her dignity, which is hanging by a very sarcastic thread.

Being evil-adjacent was never part of the five-year plan. But then again... neither was falling for The Villain.

Readers can't wait to get their hands on a copy:

'I have never been so hyped for a book before.'

'I will be buying this book so quickly even the dragon will be spooked!!'

'OMG finally!! I can't wait to have it in my hands!'

'As soon as it is out, I am going to run to buy it!! Cannot wait.'

'Giggling. Kicking my feet. I can't wait to read this!'

'I love this series so much, I've been hooked since the beginning. I'm so excited for the book.'

'I love Evie and the Villain so I NEED it.'
