Return to the delightfully chaotic world of Apprentice to the Villain, the second book in the bestselling Assistant and the Villain series by #1 New York Times bestselling author Hannah Nicole Maehrer. This laugh-out-loud cozy fantasy romantic comedy blends swoon-worthy romance, magical adventures, witty banter, and unforgettable characters into a heartwarming romantasy readers can't put down.

Evie Sage has fully embraced her role as assistant to the kingdom's most notorious villain. Working for a devastatingly handsome evil overlord (though he'd prefer you not mention that) has proven far more rewarding than expected. But with her boss mysteriously absent, the kingdom of Rennedawn is facing a dangerous magical crisis. As ancient magic begins to unravel and enemies close in, Evie must step outside her comfort zone to protect the Villain's lair—and perhaps the entire kingdom.

Armed with determination, humor, and a growing collection of questionable new skills like treason, dagger training, and conspiring with the enemy, Evie discovers she may be ready for a promotion. But becoming the Villain's apprentice comes with challenges that could change both their futures forever.

Packed with slow-burn romance, laugh-out-loud moments, magical creatures, workplace humor, and cozy fantasy charm, Apprentice to the Villain is perfect for readers who love witty romantasy with lovable characters and irresistible chemistry.
