After dying as a result of an impulsive murder, a man becomes The Lord of Rot, one of five immensely powerful Dark Lords, tasked with disseminating evil throughout the world. He struggles with his new role, uncertain of what it demands and whether he is up to it, and fights to earn the fear of his subjects and respect of his fellow Dark Lords. From humble beginnings, as his predecessor didn't leave him much to be a Dark Lord of, he embarks on a crusade against a tyrannical king after his abused daughter comes to his court and begs the Dark Lord for his help.
Elsewhere, a young hero and his squire quest to earn their place in the annals of history, seeking to bring down the Lord of Rot and bring the princess home after they recieve a prophecy. Unbeknownst to them, believing they are carrying out heroic deeds, their acts are less than heroic.
Satirical in nature, this book is a dark comedic fantasy, parodying many tropes from famous fantasy media, including such books as A Game of Thrones, Lord of the Rings, and The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe. This writing is inspired by the works of Terry Pratchett, and has been called similar to a fantasy version of A Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy.
