"Just the thing for readers who think they've seen it all."--Kirkus
Reviews
In this fantasy world filled with heroes, monsters, and royalty, a
minuscule antihero wants to become the most terrible and dreaded Dark
Lord of all the time ... the only problem is, she's broke, has no
henchmen, no evil lair, and no plan. But would that stop ten-year-old
Apprentice Lord of Darkness in this hilarious (and adorable) graphic
novel? No way!
It's been 200 years since the Master of Evil was driven out of the
Alkyll lands, and everyone is living happy, peaceful lives...everyone
except tiny, ten-year-old Apprentice Lord of Darkness. She is so bored
without any mischief around and is looking to make a name for herself by
causing a little bit of chaos and disruption. But first, she needs an
evil lair, then a group of loyal henchmen, and finally a plot to kidnap
the princess. But as events unfold, Apprentice Lord of Darkness and her
silly crew bite off more than they can chew. The Master of Evil returns,
they compete for the throne, search for the powerful Hand of Fate,
battle a barbarian, and eventual realize that they may not be as evil as
they thought!
This hilarious graphic novel combines humor and fantasy with
irresistibly cute illustrations. The short scenes are perfect for new
graphic novel readers, and the jokes will keep older audiences laughing
and turning pages with delight. Our anti-heroine is as adorable as she
is snarky and will make a fan out of boy and girl readers alike.
