About
Abandoning his days of beheading to live out an undercover retirement as a goat farmer, Morfran finds himself accidentally leading a rebellion against the kingdom's Dark Lord, who, inconveniently, is him.
Morfran the Beheader is done being the Dark Lord™ of the kingdom of Ruthven. He ditches his wife-Queen Ravana, who has officially exceeded his personal comfort level of evil-and books it for the hills, where he disguises himself as a farmer and becomes the proud parent of a goat named Benjamin and her two babies. But his frolicking is cut tragically short as Morfran's former soldiers quickly catch up . . . with plans to behead him.
Morfran's only chance at safety is to seek refuge within a tiny forest dwelling where no one recognizes him. But he quickly learns the village is the base for a brewing rebellion against his rule. And after he reluctantly saves said village from an attack, he's voted the one to lead the charge. Against himself.
Morfran helps the rebels while planning to desert them at the soonest moment. But as he fights by their side, he discovers that they're actually quite pleasant. Too bad Ravana has sent Morfran's best men to nip the revolt in the bud, and too bad his unlikely allies would burn him alive if they learned he's no hero, but actually their Dark Lord™ in disguise. Because even Morfran knows that only a hero would stand up to Ravana and fight for friends, and he's certainly no hero.
Right? S.B. West is a freelance reporter with an affinity for long-distance running. Like Morfran, she lives on a farm. Unlike Morfran, she is not an evil dark lord.
