"Masterfully develops multilayered characters. An unnerving and immensely entertaining dark fantasy." - Kirkus Review "This strong sense of place adds a layer of realism to the heightened fight scenes, in which Timothy is often a hairsbreadth away from death." - Excerpts from Clarion Foreword Review, 4 stars Hero or Villain? Could you resist a 600-year-old succubus and turn yourself into a hero? First step, turn down everything you ever wanted. In 1352, Xavier Kovach made a deal with the devil. He sold his soul and the souls of his children for a book of magic secrets and the love of a demon concubine.  Now it's 2058, and Tim Kovak has just inherited the book, the magic, and the girl. He's got six weeks to turn himself into a villain or a hero, with no choices left in between.  Tim's got to get with the program and start training to be a supervillain or get ready to fight off an army of demons, armed with nothing but his sense of humor... and a fork. Big thanks to everyone who supported me as I posted this first book. The second book is available here on Royal Road, and I would appreciate anyone who can support me by buying the first one.Reviews and comments are still worth more than money at this point, so please let me know what you think.
