From swords at dawn to dinner at seven

Dark Lord Drekar Nightshade, Sorcerer Unyielding, exploded onto the scene with a challenge. One Visitor took up the call: Sir Solan the Mageknight, dark knight of the Western Plains. Their epic showdown fell apart into shooting the breeze about tabletop gaming and swordfighting techniques.

Despite amassing an army of devoted followers and building a dread tower from which to practice his dark arts, Drekar is still getting used to this whole otherworld thing. Meanwhile, Solan finds himself haunted by the memory of the Dark Lord. And not because neither of them could defeat the other. Because it was so easy to talk to him. And around him, Solan felt so relaxed and normal and...good?

The open invitation to revisit Drekar’s Bloodstone Tower brings Solan back, carrying a suit of armor, a toothbrush, and a lot of difficult questions for himself.

A m/m friends-to-lovers, reformed villain fantasy / romantic dark comedy isekai about mushy feelings, finding your way from renegade to hero, and how to lead a (not-so-) evil army while falling in love with your former rival. Contains strong language and a little bit of spice.
