Overview
— Serena Valentino, New York Times best-selling author of the Villains series
Once Upon a Time meets Serena Valentino's Villains series in this sequel to City of Villains, which reimagines the origin stories of the Disney Villains as a gritty, fairy-tale inspired procedural mystery.
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.
