The hilarious grumpy x sunshine fantasy rom-com from the #1 New York Times bestselling author and TikTok sensationREWARD 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.Readers are OBSESSED with Hannah Nicole Maehrer...\'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!
