About the book
🐸 🏰 When falling for the brooding, off-limits boss means excusing his magical murder plots and enduring a sassy amphibian sidekick – all because you love a bad boy... 🏰 🐸 ✨ The third book in the bestselling fantasy rom-com series from the TikTok sensation about the sunshine assistant to the grumpy 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. Readers are OBSESSED with Hannah Nicole Maehrer... ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ‘This book [has] my whole heart ... I need more. Book 4, please, and thank you!’ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ‘My favourite in the series ... I was genuinely on the edge of my seat ... I physically don’t think I can wait until book four’ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ‘It truly makes the world seem just that more magical ... I’m not sure I’ll ever get bored of books set in this world!’ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ‘WHAT a book! I picked up the first book thinking it'd be a cute and fun read... Reader... I was WRONG ... volume three solidifies ATTV as genre-defying fantastical farce ... an absolute treat’ – ***** Bookseller review ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ 'A truly delightful shenanigan-filled romantasy ... I constantly found myself grinning and giggling ... My favourite book of the series!’ The Assistant and the Villain series is best enjoyed in order.

“This is shaping up to be one of my favorite series of all time. It's just fun. The writing is good, the characters are great. The story? HNM, you got me on this one. Like, that one thing, sure. I saw that coming. You tried to distract me, it worked for a second, but, yeah. Totally. But that other thing? THAT OTHER THING?? Ma'am. And the last thing, you better be prepared to explain yourself for that one. Look, all I'm saying is that if I have to wait more than a year for the fourth and final book of this series, you may have to institutionalize me, because I am already foaming at the mouth. (I…”
