Why these tropes fit
In this second installment of The Assistant and the Villain series, Evie Sage continues her role as assistant to the kingdom's outrageously handsome evil overlord. When Rennedawn's magic malfunctions, leaving The Villain's manor vulnerable to enemies including the king himself, Evie must step up to protect her boss's lair, his nefarious works, and potentially the entire kingdom. She embraces new skills like treason, dagger work, and conspiring with the enemy, transitioning from assistant toward becoming his apprentice. The story balances high-stakes fantasy danger with a light, humorous tone as Evie navigates her growing role and complicated feelings for her forbidding, somewhat out-of-evil-office boss.
