"An engaging love story about finding strength in vulnerability." ―Kirkus Reviews

The Instant New York Times Bestseller!
A Goodreads Choice Award nominee, Readers’ Favorite Romantasy
An Amazon Best Science Fiction & Fantasy Book of 2024

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.

Editorial Reviews

Review

“An engaging love story about finding strength in vulnerability.” - Kirkus Reviews

About the Author

Hannah Nicole Maehrer is a #1 New York Times bestselling author with a penchant for villains. She's primarily known for the Assistant and the Villain series and secondarily known for using humor to cope at inappropriate times ―a strength in her day-to-day writing.

Before she was an author, she worked primarily in childcare and teaching emotions management. Ironically, her characters' emotions remain chaotic and unmanageable. Her work tends to mimic her life, which is made up of a very large, very loud, and very loving family, who remain her favorite characters and her primary source of inspiration in fiction. No matter how many years pass, from the time she read her first fairy tale, her passions have remained: romance, joy, laughter, and finding ways to incorporate them in everything she creates. hannahnicolemae.com
