Love, Politics, and Other Acts of War

An annoying long-lost "cousin," war, and the prospect of love all threaten the Demon Overlord's tranquil retirement in the edgy, funny follow-up to The Demon Overlord's Retirement Plan. Includes an exclusive bonus adventure coming 10/20/26! There's no rest for the wicked, especially when they have family next door. After centuries of conquering kingdoms and terrifying the cosmos, the Demon Overlord just wants to retire in peace. Unfortunately, peace is hard to find in Lower Middleton, a quiet village full of gossip, feuds, and one dangerously charming succubus-who also happens to be his "cousin." Now Willem Porter (definitely not Galornus Prime, Destroyer of Worlds) must navigate enchanted pickles, noble politics, and the delicate art of staying out of trouble, all while pretending he's just a humble turnip farmer. A cozy, laugh-out-loud fantasy of infernal bureaucracy, reluctant heroism, and small-town chaos. Perfect for fans of Legends & Lattes, Good Omens, and anyone who likes their comfort reads served with sarcasm, tea, and a touch of demonic meddling. Start your next infernal vacation in Lower Middleton today.
