The Dark Lord's Handbook - how hard can it be?

Paul Dale · 03-30-2012, 01:25 PM

How hard can it be to be a Dark Lord? Well, if you read fantasy, seemingly very hard.

The Dark Lord's Handbook follows Morden as he attempts to avoid being a screw up like all the other Dark Lords before him. He does have a handy book to help him on his way.

[Blurb time]

To become a Dark Lord is no easy thing. The simple ambition to hold dominion over the world and bend all to your will sounds straightforward but it's not. There are armies to raise, fortresses to build, heroes to defeat, battles to be fought, hours of endless soliloquy in front of the mirror – it's a never ending job. Not to mention deciding what to wear. (After hours, days, even weeks of consideration, it will be black, so save yourself some time.)

After many spectacular failures, Evil decided to lend more than inspiration to these would be tyrants. He wrote an easy to follow Dark Lord's Handbook. And yet the next Dark Lord that came along screwed up like all the others. What good was a Handbook if they didn't RTFM?

It had been hundreds of years, and the Handbook had been lost in the annals of time, along with all that was mythic and exciting in the world, until one day a randy dragon had a chance encounter. Nine months later a Dark Lord was born - for even a Dark Lord has a mother.

It took a while, but the orc who had been looking after the Handbook all this time delivered it to this new contender, Morden.

To become a Dark Lord is no easy thing. Morden had better be a quick study.

Now at $0.99.

I am shortly going to go and ride around some mountains for a few weeks, and on my return doing final prep for Smashwords at the beginning of May. When I release there, I intend to have an introductory price so I thought it only fair to match that on the Kindle. I could wait until I get back, but why not give the Kindle readers a head start?
