Love, Politics, and Other Acts of War: The edgy, funny follow-up to The Demon Overlord's Retirement Plan.

An annoying long-lost 'cousin', war, and the prospect of love all threaten the Demon Overlord's tranquil retirement in the edgy, laugh-out-loud sequel to The Demon Overlord's Retirement Plan. ***Includes an exclusive bonus adventure coming 20/10/26!***There's no rest for the wicked. Especially when you have family next door. After centuries of conquering kingdoms and terrifying the cosmos, the Demon Overlord just wants to retire in peace. Unfortunately, peace is hard to find in Lower Middleton, a quiet village full of gossip, feuds, and one dangerously charming succubus-who also happens to be his 'cousin'. Now Willem Porter (definitely not Galornus Prime, Destroyer of Worlds) must navigate enchanted pickles, noble politics, and the delicate art of staying out of trouble, all while pretending he's just a humble turnip farmer. A hilarious fantasy of infernal bureaucracy, reluctant heroism, and small-town chaos. Perfect for fans of Dungeon Crawler Carl, Legends and Lattes, and anyone who likes their comfort reads served with sarcasm, tea, and a touch of demonic meddling.
