Accomplice to the Villain

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.

“A clever, tongue-in-cheek romantasy about workplace opposites attracting." –Kirkus Reviews

“Maehrer delivers exactly what her legion of fans will be looking for: plenty of shocking twists and, of course, her signature humor. This keeps the series going strong." –Publisher’s Weekly

“The banter is so so so good (my fav), the stakes feel higher than ever, and the tension between Evie and the Villain somehow manages to be even better.”

“This book had me laughing and smiling the whole way through. I found myself swooning. THE VILLIAN is the mmc I would DIE for and EVIE is the fmc I want to be when I grow up.”

“Wow. Just wow. Hannah Nicole Maehrer really outdid herself with this one! Accomplice to the Villain went from being one of my most anticipated reads of 2025 to my favorite book of the series!”

“Consider me OBSESSED! I’ve enjoyed this series before now but Accomplice blew me away! This was a 6 star read for me.”

“It's the coziest Romantasy, Accomplice to the Villain is going to have you swooning. My advice is to clear your schedule on release day because you're going to want to binge this one.”
