(TOMS RIVER, NJ) -- Embrace your dark side and join us for a virtual conversation with Hannah Nicole Maehrer, author of the Accomplice to the Villain series on Wednesday, September 3, 2025. The event begins at 7:00pm.
Evie Sage didn’t mean to become 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. Being evil-adjacent was never part of the plan. But then again, neither was falling for The Villain.
Hannah Nicole Maehrer – or as TikTok knows her, @hannahnicolemae – is a fantasy romance author and BookToker with a propensity for villains. When she’s not creating bookish comedy skits about villains and assistants, she’s writing to Taylor Swift songs. Her biggest passions include romance, magic, laughter, and finding ways to include them all in everything she creates. Most days you can find her with her head in the clouds and a pen in her hand.
