Constance Verity - soon to be played on the big screen by Crazy Rich Asians superstar Awkwafina! - is still saving the universe, one crisis at a time - but now the rules have changed.

Constance Verity is still saving the universe, one crisis at a time, but the rules have changed.

She''s managed to build a quiet life between feats of improbable heroism, until the line between adventure and ordinary begins to blur and Connie discovers that preventing her two very different worlds from colliding might be beyond even her.

It''s hard enough to maintain a relationship without having to find time to save the world, but when her (sort of) ex-boyfriend, the son of one of her top ten arch-enemies, comes to her for help, the timing couldn''t be worse.

But when malicious superbrains and sinister ocean gods join an entirely unreasonable number of assassins, Connie might finally be in over her head - and the curse of steadily worsening bad luck isn''t helping much.

With her history of saving the world, over and over, it should be just another day in Connie''s life - shouldn''t it?

The final part in Constance Verity''s epic adventure: saving the world is easy. Everything that comes after is the tricky part. Look out for Crazy Rich Asians superstar Awkwafina as Connie in the major movie adaptation of the first book.Saving the world is easy for Constance Verity: she''s used to doing the impossible on a daily basis. Everything that comes after is the tricky part. Connie has accepted and secured her place in the universe. There isn''t a foe she can''t outfight or a peril she can''t outwit - until she discovers she herself might be the greatest threat to the world she''s spent her life saving.All the signs are pointing to impending doom, and not just for Connie. Her friends, her enemies and the universe itself are all at risk. She''s always known she was destined for a glorious death, but she never suspected she''d be taking everyone and everything else with her. With her trademark determination, Constance Verity sets out to avert a cosmic plan millions of years in the making - and save the universe from herself. After all, who else is going to do it?
