A retired overlord, pulled back into trouble

Willem Porter’s attempt to live quietly as a turnip farmer in Lower Middleton is complicated by a dangerous succubus and two feuding barons. The setup pairs the afterlife of a world-conquering demon with small-town concerns, including noble politics, enchanted pickles, and the challenge of keeping his past—and his goat—out of sight. The description points to humorous fantasy built around reluctant heroism and the collision between a desire for peace and renewed conflict. As a follow-up to The Demon Overlord’s Retirement Plan, it returns to a former cosmic conqueror whose retirement remains anything but settled.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Fans of humorous fantasy and supernatural comedy
  • Readers interested in small-town settings mixed with political conflict
  • Those seeking fantasy about a former villain trying to retire

Book overview

The edgy, funny follow-up to the USA Today bestselling The Demon Overlord's Retirement Plan, where an annoying long-lost "cousin," war, and the prospect of love all threaten the Demon Overlord's retirement.

After centuries of conquering kingdoms and terrifying the cosmos, the Demon Overlord just wants to retire in peace. But when one dangerous succubus and a couple of feuding barons come to the small town of Lower Middleton, peace is hellishly hard to find.

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, with a perfectly normal goat.

Love, Politics, and Other Acts of War is a cozy, laugh-out-loud fantasy of infernal bureaucracy, reluctant heroism, and small-town chaos. Perfect for fans of Legends & Lattes, Good Omens, and anyone who likes their comfort reads served with sarcasm, tea, and a touch of demonic meddling.
