The New Black

"When Mal decided on a color scheme, she stuck to it, and she had been drawn to the layers of gothic richness in the purple continuum. It was the color of mystery and magic, moody and dark, while not being as commonplace in popular villainswear as black. Purple was the new black, as far as Mal was concerned." -The Isle of the Lost by Mellisa de la Cruz

Villainous Offspring

Books 1-3 of the Descendants series by Melissa de la Cruz

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.
