The craziness continues. The villain, who is not really the villain the country believes him to be. And his trusted assistant turned accomplice. Who is now known as the wicked woman with a price on her head. Like hello, what has Evi ever done?!

Magic is disappearing. King Benedict is a despot, hello! Can´t everyone see he is the real villain? I mean sure Tristan pushes some guys overboard here, but hey they deserved it.

There is a lot going on. There is a traitor among them. The valiant guard keeps finding them, and getting closer. There is a dragon, monsters, magic, family you would rather be without, family you make. Danger, prophecies, and a frog who used to be a prince. Lots to take in.

And here they finally get closer too! Tristan and Evi are meant to be, but he keeps fighting it.

That ending though, wow, intense. I did not expect that.

Great narrating. I like all her voices for people, and she has a new flow to it all. It works really well in audio

REWARD 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.
