Dreadful

Dread Lord Gavrax is a sharp, witty high fantasy farce filled with killer moat squid, evil wizards, and a garlic festival—perfect for fans of T. Kingfisher and K.J. Parker.

When Gav wakes up in a ruined wizard’s workshop with no memories and learns he’s actually the Dread Lord himself, he must pretend to be the villain everyone fears while uncovering the truth about his past. As he discovers that nothing—from his goblin minions to the imprisoned princess—is what it seems, Gav must confront his former deeds and decide who he truly wants to be.
