In this sequel to City of Villains, return to the gritty, fairy
tale-inspired crime series that reimagines the origins of the Disney
Villains like you've never seen before.
Everything in high school senior Mary Elizabeth Heart's life changed in
one horrifying night. After the Battle of Miracle Lake, she lost her
prestigious internship at the Monarch City police department. Her best
friend, Ursula, has become something tentacled and unrecognizable. Her
classmate Maleficent has turned into a horned monster. And her first
love, James, has replaced his hand with a menacing, gleaming hook . . .
or so the rumor goes. She hasn't seen any of them since that night.
Her friends, now known across Monarch City as "the villains," have
become pawns in a game of political chess. Rallies and protests divide
an already fractured city. More kids are disappearing from the Scar each
day. And at the center of it all is Mary Elizabeth, who is torn between
uncovering those responsible for the return of this Wrong Magic and
saving her friends, whatever the cost.
But the conspiracy she is unraveling may reach further than she could
have imagined. And the deeper she goes, the more her own inner demons
threaten to emerge.
"Your favorite Villains in an entirely new light." --Serena Valentino,
New York Times best-selling author of the Villains series
