Descendants

Descendants series.
Uma (daughter of Ursula) is bitter that she wasn't chosen to go to Auradon like Mal, Evie, and Carlos. When she hears that King Triton's magical trident is nearby, Uma immediately goes after it; Mal and friends race to rescue the trident first. Setting the stage for the Disney Channel movie Descendants 2, this is the third strictly commercial tie-in about Disney villains' reformed offspring.

Descendants series.
Someone is sending Mal, Evie, Carlos, and Jay threatening messages. Afraid that their notorious super-villain parents are hatching a new plot, the reformed kids must return to their seedy homeland to find out. This follow-up to Isle of the Lost is similarly unoriginal, but devoted Disney fans who were left wanting more after the tie-in Disney Channel movie Descendants will be pleased.

Last Descendants Trilogy series.
A generation after the monarchy was restored in Malonia (a parallel world to modern-day England), magic is dying out. The Imperial Order threatens to reinstate the military rule that was so brutal in The Eyes of the King. Despite its long-windedness and vague world-building, the fantasy's large-scale sensibilities may draw readers into this second book in the trilogy.
