If evil was easy, everybody would be doing it, and there would be more Dark Lords running around than you could shake a stick at. But the road to Utter Domination isn't easy, smooth or straight, as the boy who will one day become Gar the Pitiless will discover. Gar may eventually rise to rule all he surveys - but first he'll have to survive a world that seems bent on his destruction.

From the author of the Amra Thetys series comes a new trilogy full of black humor, lots of swearing, and practical tips on how to become the best Evil Overlord you can possibly be.
