The Dark Lord
The Dark Lord | Jack Heckel
2 posts | 2 read | 3 to read
In this hilarious parody of epic fantasy, a young man travels into a dark and magical world, where dwarves, elves, and sorcerers dwell, to restore the balance between good and evil After spending years as an undercover, evil wizard in the enchanted world of Trelari, Avery hangs up the cloak he wore as the Dark Lord and returns to his studies at Mysterium University. On the day of his homecoming, Avery drunkenly confides in a beautiful stranger, telling her everything about his travels. When Avery awakens, hungover and confused, he discovers that his worst nightmare has come true: the mysterious girl has gone to Trelari to rule as a Dark Queen. Avery must travel back to the bewitched land and liberate the magical creatures . . . but in order to do so, he has to join forces with the very people who fought him as the Dark Lord.

The Dark Lord | Jack Heckel

Avery, a graduate student of magic, makes a Very Big Mistake and has to correct it and save a world. Except he‘s just a graduate student and not really cut out to save the world. Throw in tongue in cheek humor and riffing on tropes familiar to those who play role playing games like DnD, and you‘ve got a fast and surprisingly delightful read full of adventure (maybe misadventure would be more appropriate) and nods to fantasy literature.
