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.

This is the companion novel to REBORN AS A DARK LORD - It can be read with no knowledge of the other books.
