Apprentice To The Villain Paperback By Hannah Nicole Maehrer

£9.99

Released: 28th October 2024. The hilarious grumpy x sunshine fantasy rom-com from the New York Times bestselling author and TikTok sensation ‘The slow burn was burning, great twists and turns and one of the rare books that actually made me laugh out loud’ ***** Reader review ‘Hilarious, heart-felt, and wonderful…incredible fairytale fantasy’ ***** Reader review ‘The banter was perfection.’ ***** Reader review NOTICE TO STAFF: There has been a disturbing increase in cheeriness, sprightly behaviour 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? But Rennedawn is in grave trouble, and all signs 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? Readers love Apprentice to the Villain: ‘My most anticipated book of the year and it did NOT disappoint’ ***** Reader Review ‘I absolutely loved this book’ ***** Reader review ‘OH MY DAYS, I have such a profound love for these characters’ ***** Reader review ‘The tension and banter between the leads is well-written and laugh out loud enjoyable’ ***** Reader review ‘I couldn’t put this down’ ***** Reader review ‘These books have a bit of everything!

    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?

    But Rennedawn is in grave trouble, and all signs 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?
