Love, Politics, and Other Acts of War
Book 2 of A Gentle Apocalypse Series, from the author of Demon Overlord's Retirement Plan.
There’s no rest for the wicked, especially when they have family next door.
After centuries of conquering kingdoms and terrifying the cosmos, the Demon Overlord just wants to retire in peace. Unfortunately, peace is hard to find in Lower Middleton, a quiet village full of gossip, feuds, and one dangerously charming succubus—who also happens to be his "cousin."
Now Willem Porter (definitely not Galornus Prime, Destroyer of Worlds) must navigate enchanted pickles, noble politics, and the delicate art of staying out of trouble, all while pretending he’s just a humble turnip farmer.
A cozy, laugh-out-loud fantasy of infernal bureaucracy, reluctant heroism, and small-town chaos.
Perfect for fans of Legends & Lattes, Good Omens, and anyone who likes their comfort reads served with sarcasm, tea, and a touch of demonic meddling.

Cozy Pairings

Voodoo is a rich and inviting fragrance built around the depth of freshly brewed coffee, softened with the natural sweetness of sugar cane. Warm and slightly indulgent, this scent blends bold, roasted notes with a smooth, lingering sweetness that feels both energizing and comforting. Subtle and atmospheric, it carries a hint of something more, adding a layer of intrigue that makes the fragrance feel warm, familiar, and just a little bit magical.
Why we chose this: Galornus Prime was the Scourge of Nations and the Ender of Hope, and now he is a retired demon overlord trying very hard not to accidentally conquer anything while growing turnips and protecting his infuriatingly loveable neighbors from corrupt officials. Voodoo carries the warm, slightly mysterious depth of a series where ancient evil keeps finding its way back to small domestic acts of goodness, rich and roasted with a hint of something that has seen far too much of the world and chosen quiet anyway. It is the candle for every book in this series. Light this candle and let the warmth fill the room like a village where the most dangerous person present is also the one most likely to fix the fence and bring over soup.
