Amelia comes from a long line of powerful Villains. Her parents, her brother, and even her entire extended family are all part of a great Family of villains. In the entire history of the Family, Amelia is the only one to ever be born without powers. She is a dud and all the knowledge and lessons in the world can't replace the abilities she should have had. Vincent is her only friend. As a regular human, he has no concerns about her lack of abilities. As the son of an overworked single father, the two bond over their familial neglect and find kinship in their respective solitude. Then a magical attack against Amelia sets off an unexpected burst of power—from Vincent. Thanks to his gifts with magic, he becomes a highly valuable commodity for Amelia's Family. They absorb Vincent into the place that should have been Amelia's by birth, leaving her on the outside. This time truly alone. Villainy and Vigilance is a Paranormal Romantic Comedy with a Body Count. From friends to enemies to something new—Amelia and Vincent are forced to face the realities of what it means to be a Villain. And the true cost of keeping friends.
