The Dark Lord's Guide to Hostile Corporate Takeover: The Dark Lord's Guide Series

By Timothy W. Long

From ruling the underworld to battling co-pays and deductibles-evil has met its match.

Dark Lord Morthisal Ebonwrath, Master of the Abyss, is moments away from losing his dark fortress and head to a hero's assault. He uses his last bit of magic to escape death-only to end up trapped in the mundane body of Vince Logan, an ordinary guy from modern-day Seattle. Stripped of his powers, Morthisal wakes up disoriented in a world full of strange contraptions, surrounded by people in white coats who think his cries for dominion over death are just signs of a "mental episode."

With no dark magic, Morthisal must navigate the bewildering modern world of insurance co-pays, office cubicles, and frustratingly useless minions (otherwise known as co-workers). Morthisal also finds himself falling-reluctantly and awkwardly-for Yvette Sterling, a high-powered CEO who scares him for all the wrong reasons. (Mostly because he likes her.). Between run-ins with technology and misunderstandings of modern customs, he realizes that he may be able to access some of his former powers, but at a very painful price.

Dark fantasy meets corporate satire, in a story where office politics and dark sorcery clash-one baffling day at a time.
