The Demon Overlord's Retirement Plan

By M. H. Foster

A USA Today Bestseller

The Demon Overlord retires to farm turnips in peace, only to find small village life more chaotic than he ever could have anticipated.

"A wonderful romp with a Dark Lord who gets a taste for Pratchett-esque small town living, assisted (kind of) by a floofy hellhound and a devious goat. Lots of fun " --Django Wexler, author of How to Become the Dark Lord and Die Trying

Galornus Prime was the Demon Overlord. He had defeated the Hero and done everything worth doing - some of it more than once.

His retirement plan was simple: get a goat, farm quietly in the small town of Lower Middleton, and avoid accidentally conquering anything. The plan didn't include soul-crushing town halls, after-school combat lessons with children, and an undergarment-based war with the rose-growing widow next door.

When corrupt officials and greedy merchants threaten his infuriatingly loveable neighbors, Galornus faces a new kind of challenge: saving the village without revealing he is the monster parents invoke to make children eat their vegetables.

The Demon Overlord's Retirement Plan is a cozy fantasy with teeth, where the hardest battle isn't defeating heroes--it's staying retired and learning how to live after 444 lifetimes of villainy.
