Details

A 12-year-old boy wakes shivering in a parking lot, claiming he's a monstrous world-conquering Dark Lord, banished from his magical home dimension by his White Wizard archenemy. The adults mistake "Dark Lord" for "Dirk Lloyd," concluding he's an abandoned, disturbed child stuck in a self-protective fantasy. Dirk is placed with a foster family and enrolled in middle school, to face terrifying new threats: homework, bullies, and the school bus. When Dirk turns out to possess REAL MAGIC, his new family is tested - will Dirk return to his homeworld seeking bloody vengeance, or learn to value human life?
