Accomplice To The Villain by Hannah Nicole Maehrer

THE INSTANT #1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLING SERIES Once Upon a Time meets The Office in Hannah Nicole Maehrer’s laugh-out-loud viral TikTok series turned novel, 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 weaponized 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 unraveling, 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 fire—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. A magical office comedy with grumpy bosses, snarky frogs, and definitely-not-feelings. The Assistant and the Villain series is best enjoyed in order. Reading Order: Book #1 Assistant to the Villain Book #2 Apprentice to the Villain Book #3 Accomplice to the Villain

Evie nutně potřebuje práci, takže když se namane místo asistentky, bez váhání na nabídku kývne. Co na tom, že tahle kancelář je trochu netradiční? Stát se pravou rukou známého zloducha a páchat nepravosti může být ve finále hodně cool. Nebo spíš hot, zvlášť když se do svého temperamentního zaměstnavatele zakoukáte. Evie tak musí zvládnout nejen běžný kancelářský provoz zahrnující vytváření chaosu a teroru, ale také děsivě neodbytnou přitažlivost. A to ještě netuší, že jejímu šéfovi jde někdo po krku…

AVISO PARA EL PERSONAL: Recientemente se ha producido un inquietante aumento de la felicidad, los comportamientos alegres y el optimismo en general. Se ruega reanuden sus quehaceres oscuros y ominosos lo antes posible. -El equipo directivo. Evie Sage está más contenta que nunca de ser la asistente de El Villano. ¿Quién iba a pensar que trabajar para un señor del mal tan sumamente guapo (shhh, eso perjudica su reputación) sería tan gratificante? Aun así, lo de hacer el mal es una tarea muy exigente, ya que las fuerzas del bien no se cansan de insistir, y cierto jefe intimidante está un poco…, eh…, fuera de la oficina y fuera de juego. Sin embargo, Rennedawn tiene graves problemas -como bien indican los cartelitos de Reymundo- y todos los indicios apuntan a una catástrofe. Algo peculiar está ocurriendo con la magia del reino, y este hecho ha provocado que la mansión de El Villano se vuelva vulnerable ante sus enemigos, incluido su némesis: el rey. Ahora es el momento de que Evie se enfrente a su mayor desafío: proteger la guarida de El Villano, todas sus actividades perversas y tal vez (siempre y cuando nadie se dé cuenta) el reino entero. Sin presiones, Evie. Es hora de salir de su zona de confort y aprender nuevas habilidades. Como a traicionar. A usar una daga. A conspirar con el enemigo. Todo es tan…, tan… ¡extremadamente divertido! Pero ¿qué ocurre cuando la asistente de El Villano está lista para convertirse en su aprendiz?

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