Another web serial you should read

in webserial •  7 years ago 

I just told you that The Iron Teeth was just published, and it got a decent response I thought I'd tell you about another fantasy web serial.

A Practical Guide to Evil is your typical fantasy world in every way. Only it's not.
Heros? Check.
Villains? All the checks.
Angels? Yup, they're right bastards.
Demons? Totally a thing that happens.
Goblins? Orcs? Undead? Fae? Oh my yes.

The thing that makes this series different is the roles.
Every hero and villainous trope is embodied here, and they all know the role they play. They know why they monologue. They know what happens when they don't verify the corpse, and they do them anyway. Because those that break the roles break the universe.

Follow Squire, Apprentice, The Black Knight, Warlock, and every trope you've ever loved or hated as they work to break out of their Roles, and change the world.

Oh, and occasionally a goat explodes. So that's pretty cool.

Summary from the home page
The Empire stands triumphant.

For twenty years the Dread Empress has ruled over the lands that were once the Kingdom of Callow, but behind the scenes of this dawning golden age threats to the crown are rising. The nobles of the Wasteland, denied the power they crave, weave their plots behind pleasant smiles. In the north the Forever King eyes the ever-expanding borders of the Empire and ponders war. The greatest danger lies to the west, where the First Prince of Procer has finally claimed her throne: her people sundered, she wonders if a crusade might not be the way to secure her reign. Yet none of this matters, for in the heart of the conquered lands the most dangerous man alive sat across an orphan girl and offered her a knife.

Her name is Catherine Foundling, and she has a plan.
