Full of hilarious twists on classic fantasy tropes and a cast of delightfully roguish characters, this book is tons of villainous fun! As the only daughter of the Dark Lord Elithor, Clementine Morcerous is training to one day take his place. For now, Clementine practices her dark magic, takes care of the chickens (normal and fire-breathing), and feeds poison apples to the Nightmares in the castle stables. But when her father is cursed by a witch, it's up to Clementine to save the day — and to decide whether evil-doing is truly her destiny. Recommended By Leanna M., Powells.com
