The Dark Lord's Guide to Hostile Corporate Takeover

Follow a former dark lord’s descent into the most brutal dungeon of all: Corporate America—for fans of M.H. Foster's The Demon Overlord's Retirement Plan.

Stop managing. Start subjugating. Dark Lord Morthisal Ebonwrath, Master of the Abyss, is moments away from losing his dark fortress and his head to a hero's assault. He uses his last bit of magic to escape death—only to find himself trapped in the mundane body of Vince Logan, an ordinary guy from modern-day Seattle. Stripped of his powers, Morthisal wakes disoriented in a world of strange contraptions, surrounded by people in white coats who dismiss his cries for dominion over death as a "mental episode." Without dark magic, Morthisal must navigate the bewildering modern world of insurance co-pays, office cubicles, and frustratingly useless minions (otherwise known as co-workers). Amid run-ins with technology and misunderstandings of modern customs, he realizes he may be able to access some of his former powers, but only at a very painful price. Yet there is power in this world, but every time he taps into it, echoes of his former might return . . . for a very painful price. When he meets CEO Yvette Sterling, Morthisal finds himself feeling something he hasn't felt in centuries of dark reign: desire. She's brilliant, calculating, and terrifyingly competent, possibly the only mortal who could match wits with a former dark lord. She might destroy him, or she might be exactly what he needs.
