Hannah Nicole Maehrer Synopses: Assistant to the Villain by Hannah Nicole Maehrer is the first book in the series of the same name. With an ailing family to support, Evie Sage can’t afford to be picky about work. So when an unfortunate run-in with Rennedawn’s most infamous villain unexpectedly turns into a job offer, she accepts – never mind that the position involves managing unpredictable office duties, keeping mayhem on schedule, and assisting in assorted Dark Deeds.

No job is perfect, of course – especially when your terrifying, short-tempered, and undeniably attractive boss starts stirring feelings that are wildly inconvenient. But just as Evie gets used to severed heads dangling from the ceiling and the occasional eyeball underfoot, she realizes this dungeon has a serious problem.

Someone is sabotaging the villain’s empire, and the threat could topple everything he’s built. Now Evie must keep her wits about her, uncover the traitor, and help her boss exact his revenge… all while trying not to fall for him.

After all, good jobs – and even better villains – are hard to find.

Apprentice to the Villain by Hannah Nicole Maehrer is the second book in the Assistant and the Villain series. Cheeriness is on the rise in Rennedawn – an alarming trend for those who prefer a healthy dose of doom and gloom. Evie Sage, however, couldn’t be happier in her job as assistant to The Villain. Who knew working for an outrageously handsome (shhh, bad for his brand) evil overlord could be so fulfilling?

But the business of being bad is demanding, the forces of good are stubbornly persistent, and her forbidding boss is somewhat…er, out-of-evil-office. Worse, strange magic is stirring across the kingdom, leaving The Villain’s manor exposed to enemies – especially their nemesis, the king.

Now it’s up to Evie to safeguard the lair, defend every last nefarious plot, and maybe (provided no one notices) protect the entire kingdom. It’s the perfect time to step out of her comfort zone and learn new skills – like treason, dagger work, and conspiring with the enemy.

Because when the kingdom teeters on the edge of catastrophe, who better to save the day than The Villain’s assistant…especially if she’s ready to become his apprentice?

Accomplice to the Villain is the third book in the Assistant to the Villain series from author Hannah Nicole Maehrer. Evie Sage never meant to become the kingdom’s most wanted apprentice – accused of light treason, alleged magical property damage, and one entirely accurate incident involving a weaponized scone. Known to answer to “Evie” or “Stop that,” she’s also frequently spotted with a crowned, judgmental frog.

It all started when she applied for what she thought was an entry-level position promising “light paperwork and occasional beheadings.” One interview later, she found herself knee-deep in magical mayhem, murder plots, and an entirely inappropriate crush on her brooding, sharp-jawed, walking-disaster of a boss – the kingdom’s most terrifying villain.

Now, with a magical prophecy unraveling, assassins loitering in the break room, and far too many frogs wearing crowns, Evie must figure out how to survive her job without setting the kingdom – or her dignity – on fire. Being evil-adjacent was never part of her five-year plan…but neither was falling for The Villain.
