Villains Rule: The Shadow Master, Book 1

A villain's tale. Sadly, even the top villain occasionally gets double-crossed. And not evil. This book, Villains Rule, is a fantasy action-comedy which you have to hear. Get over it. Not because it redefines the genre, far from it. Okay, I get it, fourth-wall breaking is overdone. Because that is what villains should do, shouldn't they? Listen to this book, have a few laughs, and find out.. Trapped in one of the fantasy realms, Jackson has to use his skill and wits to exploit the rules, points out the genre flaws, undermine godly authority, and win the day. The ones who use their power because they can, while morality is only a philosopher's complex. No, I mean a villain's villain. If you want evil, take that nonsense to therapy. It's rude not to answer a person when they ask you a question. This is the story of Jackson Blackwell, the Shadow Master and the top villain adviser. But rather for what it contains.
