Assistant to the Villain #4
Adversary to the Villain
Not yet published
Expected 4 Aug 26HR Update: The position of “adversary to the villain” has been filled. Evie Sage does not recall applying.
Evie has always tried to be helpful, loyal, and only mildly involved in treason. But with a dangerous prophecy threatening the very magic of Rennedawn—not to mention the race to claim its necessary artifacts before King Benedict does—things are starting to feel…less like a career path and more like a serious problem.
The prophecy won’t stop pointing in Evie’s direction. The Villain’s magic keeps choosing her. And honestly, if you’re going to be accused of evil anyway, you might as well commit.
Unfortunately, the more Evie leans into her alleged villain era, the more her boss starts acting like the hero of a completely different story. Trystan is getting closer—closer than is wise, advisable, or even remotely professional—and looking at her like she’s already chosen a side. His.
Which is deeply inconvenient, because if Evie can’t save the kingdom’s magic, she might just become its greatest threat.
The hilarious fantasy romance series doesn't end at Adversary to the Villain! The thrilling conclusion to the series is coming soon!

January 29, 2025Ok yall, I am CONVINCED that this book will be called Ally to the Villain. I mean, that kinda makes the most sense, right?!
1. Assistant to the Villain
2. Apprentice to the Villain
3. Accomplice to the Villain
4. Ally to the Villain
Besides the fact that this makes a ton of sense, it would also check out with all the other double letters she has in the other titles:
1. aSSisant
2. aPPrentice
3. aCComplice
4. aLLy
I hope yall enjoy my theory lol

January 9, 2026This title does not give ‘the story is wrapping up in book 4’ vibes 🙃
Loved books 1 & 2 but I think this would have been strongest as a trilogy. There was too much going on in book 3 (7 POVs and 4 prominent romances is a LOT) but I do want to see how this wraps up… I’m just still crossing my fingers it actually does wrap up in 4.
Edit: idk if I missed a previous announcement but it’s Jan 9 & the author just replied to a question of Instagram asking if this book is going to close the series with ‘Nope! 😄’ and I’m a bit bummed that I was right tbh
