Villainous Offspring
Years ago, all the evil villains were banished to the Isle of the Lost, stripped of their powers and locked behind a force field. But hidden in the mysterious Forbidden Fortress is a dragon’s eye: the key to true darkness and the villains’ only hope of escape. Only the cleverest, evilest, nastiest villain can find it. And Maleficent’s daughter, Mal, has a plan to take it for herself.
