The Dark Lord Clementine by Sarah Jean Horwitz

3.0

This story was a lot deeper than I expected it to be.

Young Clementine is the daughter and heir of her father, The Dark Lord Elithor. Dark Lords are meant to cause ciaos and inflict terror on the people that live one their land. It is expected of every Dark Lord in the realm if they wish to remain in their position.

Because of a curse set on The Dark Lord Elithor by a witch, he becomes unable to manage the upkeep on the manor or perform their quota dastardly deeds. It falls onto Clementine to make sure that things run as smoothly as they can until her father finds a way to break the curse.

Along the way, Clementine develops friendships (something that she was taught was unbecoming for a Dark Lord) and discoveries her own type of magic. A magic she knows her father wouldn't approve of. But when that magic might be the only way to saving her friends, she might not have a choice.
