The New York Times-bestselling sharp-witted, debut high fantasy farce featuring killer moat squid, toxic masculinity, evil wizards and a garlic festival - all at once. Perfect for fans of T. Kingfisher, K. J. Parker and Travis Baldree.It’s bad enough waking up in a half-destroyed evil wizard’s workshop with no eyebrows, no memories, and no idea how long you have before the Dread Lord Whomever shows up to murder you horribly and then turn your skull into a goblet or something.It’s a lot worse when you realize that Dread Lord Whomever is… you.Gav isn’t really sure how he ended up with a castle full of goblins, or why he has a princess locked in a cell. All he can do is play along with his own evil plan in hopes of getting his memories back before he gets himself killed. But as he realizes that nothing – from the incredibly tasteless cloak adorned with flames to the aforementioned princess – is quite what it seems, Gav must face up to all the things the Dread Lord Gavrax has done. And he’ll have to answer the hardest question of all – who does he want to be?A high fantasy farce featuring killer moat squid, toxic masculinity, an evil wizard convocation, and a garlic festival. All at once. All in all, Dread Lord Gavrax has had better weeks.

"This was such a fun interesting book. I loves how logical the twisted sense of logic was but then I tend to enjoy books with that in general. I do think it would have been better without the romance but I did thoroughly enjoy their friendship and Gav was a delight to read about. The trolls? The green small people with odd clothes were wonderful minions honestly the best ones I've read about so far. This gives of Terry Pratchett vibes and I'm here for them. I'd say anyone from age 13 and up could read this with relative ease and enjoyment. A wonderful book that I loved so much and recommend to anyone who wants a light funny read."
"Actual rating, 3.5⭐."
