At Master Dreadthorn's School for Wayward Villains, Rune Drexler and friends hone their villainous skills. But when new students, Princess Ileana and Dodge VonDoe, arrive, secrets unravel. One hides a superhero identity, threatening to dismantle their world. Can Rune and his fellow villains protect their school from this undercover hero? In a twist of fate, the bad guys might just save the day. Dive into a world where good and evil collide, and nothing is as it seems.
From the publisher
At Master Dreadthorn’s School for Wayward Villains, young villains must learn to be bad. Rune Drexler, Big Bad Wolf Jr., and Jezebel Dracula are feeling pretty good (or bad!) about their evildoer skills. But that was before two new students joined the ranks: Princess Ileana and mad-scientist-in-training, Dodge VonDoe. The new kids have big secrets. One of them is actually a student at Dr. Do-Good’s School for Superior Superheroes and he or she is here to take down Master Dreadthorn. Can Rune and Co. protect their school from the superheroes? Everything you know about good and evil is turned upside down in this delightful series where the bad guys wind up saving the world . . . reluctantly.
