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
