The new face of big evil is a little . . . small. Dastardly deeds arent exactly the first things that come to mind when one hears the name Clementine, but as the sole heir of the infamous Dark Lord Elithor, twelve-year-old Clementine Morcerous has been groomed since birth to be the best (worst?) Evil Overlord she can be. But everything changes the day her father is cursed by a mysterious rival. Now, Clementine must not only search for a way to break the curse, but also take on the full responsibilities of the Dark Lord. But when its time for her to perform dastardly deeds against the townspeople including her brand-new friends she begins to question her fathers code of good and evil. What if the Dark Lord Clementine doesnt want to be a dark lord after all?
