Part of Assistant to the Villain
First published 2024
Evie Sage loves her job as assistant to The Villain. Her boss is handsome, evil, and surprisingly rewarding to work for. The business of being bad keeps her busy while heroes constantly interfere with their operations. But something goes wrong with the kingdom's magic in Rennedawn. The disruption leaves The Villain's manor exposed to enemies, including their greatest foe, the king himself. The Villain seems distracted and absent when they need him most. Evie must step up to protect the lair, the villainous operations, and possibly the entire kingdom. She learns new skills she never expected: treason, fighting with daggers, and making deals with enemies. Each challenge delights her more than the last. As Evie grows bolder and more capable, she begins to wonder if she's ready to move beyond her role as assistant and become The Villain's apprentice instead.
