Accomplice to the Villain is Book 3 in the Assistant and the Villain Series and should be read after Assistant to the Villain and Apprentice to the Villain.

Evie Sage never planned on becoming the trusted right-hand woman to the kingdom's most feared villain.

She certainly never planned on developing feelings for him.

Now, Evie's days are filled with magical disasters, dangerous prophecies, sarcastic coworkers, and the occasional assassination attempt—all while trying to survive her increasingly complicated relationship with her brooding, devastatingly handsome boss.

As mysterious threats grow stronger and chaos spreads throughout the kingdom, Evie must navigate magical mishaps, questionable office politics, and one particularly judgmental crowned frog. Between murder plots, enchanted paperwork, and impossible feelings, she discovers that being evil-adjacent may be far more complicated than she ever imagined.

Packed with witty banter, lovable characters, magical mayhem, and plenty of laugh-out-loud moments, Accomplice to the Villain continues the unforgettable romantasy adventure readers can't get enough of.
