Apprentice to the Villain by Hannah Nicole Maehrer is a refreshingly hilarious blend of fantasy and workplace comedy that has taken the internet by storm. Imagine the enchanting whimsy of Once Upon a Time meshing with the quirky mundanity of The Office, and you have a glimpse into this brilliantly unique narrative.

Evie Sage couldn't be more thrilled with her new job as the assistant to the realm's most nefarious figure, The Villain. An absurdly handsome (not that anyone is supposed to notice) evil overlord, The Villain's imposing demeanour hides a world of rewarding challenges. Though maintaining his intimidating reputation is a full-time job, and the forces of good are incessantly irritating, Evie finds herself thriving in the demanding environment. That is, until The Villain inexplicably vanishes from his dark, brooding responsibilities.

The kingdom of Rennedawn faces a dire situation. Magical disturbances threaten the very fabric of their world, leaving The Villain's formidable stronghold exposed to foes. Even worse, their arch-nemesis, the king, is manoeuvring to exploit this weakness. Evie, ever the optimistic and determined assistant, must rise to the occasion.

In an unexpected turn of events, Evie is plunged into a realm of conspiracy, treachery, and dagger-wielding escapades. Her meticulously organised life is upended as she tackles espionage missions, negotiates with rivals, and maybe—a shocking twist for her sunny disposition—commits a little treason. As she dives deeper into her dual role of aid and apprentice, Evie uncovers unexpected delight in the chaos that surrounds her.

But stepping into the shoes of evil is no small feat. Protecting The Villain's lair, safeguarding his sinister schemes, and perhaps, just perhaps, saving the entire kingdom—all fall onto her capable shoulders. The question looms: Is Evie ready to transition from being just the assistant to becoming the true apprentice of The Villain?

Apprentice to the Villain is a rollicking adventure filled with humour, heart, and a twist of romance. Hannah Nicole Maehrer's debut novel will leave readers in stitches while they root for the most unlikely heroes in their quest to embrace the darker, yet strangely alluring, side of themselves. Dive into this spellbinding tale where laughter meets the shadows, and discover if Evie Sage can truly become the apprentice to the most wicked of villains.
