The Shadow Master

Hi, I'm Jackson Blackwell. Professional bad guy, minor god, and most importantly, the Shadow Master. I'm the multiverse's first, best, and… ahem, only, villain advisor. I slither into other gods' universes and do what i do best: make their villains better. For profit and personal power, that is. I'm a villain after all. Sadly, even the infamous Shadow Master can get double crossed. Trapped in a horribly generic fantasy realm and left to die, I must use my skills and wits to exploit the rules, mock genre flaws, undermine authority, and win the day.

Jackson Blackwell, the Shadow Master, is back and lo, the multiverse shall tremble. Why? For someone dared to kidnap his daughter. A standard villainy consultation in a sci-fi dimension turns tragic when a space pirate sneak attack leaves Jackson stranded on a remote planet. Worse, the pirates took Evie. Worse still… he’s stuck with Randy! Hmm, is that worse? Eh… doesn’t matter, because Jackson will use his devious and deadly tricks to escape, assemble his team, and find those responsible.

The time has finally come for Sophia to enact her vengeance against one Julian Jackson Blackwell. The name of the book is Villains Defeat, after all, and it is a story of team building, betrayal, plots-within-plots, and a how-to guide for toppling an empire. So, yeah, we’re kind of riffing on “the heist” genre in this one.
