Jamie Thomson’s “Dark Lord: The Early Years” introduces the Dark Lord. At the open of the narrative, he crashes into a parking lot and is mistaken for Dirk Lloyd, a regular kid from around the block. He had been given the name since it is the best approximation the medics who have been treating him can make of his mumblings. The dark lord now known as Dirk is then forced to attend school and live with a foster family. The social and medical authorities believe that he is suffering from some trauma since he has been constantly saying that he originates from another dimension and that he has evil powers. Dirk takes it all in his stride telling his classmates about his powers with most of them believing he must be a lunatic. No one takes him seriously since his powers seem to be non-existent in the real world he lives in. For the most part, he becomes a form of entertainment for his classmates even as he does all in his power to go back to the dimension he calls home. He is a funny boy with ridiculous and hilarious antics that can sometimes enter the realm of disturbing. In the meantime, Dirk is getting stressed since he has tried to go back home through the ring and portal he had created. He had intended to use the portal and take along his friend Sooz but only succeeded in getting themselves in a lot of trouble for it.

“Dark Lord: School’s Out” by Jamie Thomson picks up from the end of the debut. Dirk Lloyd the supposed foster kid is a Dark Lord forced to live the life of a middle school boy exiled from home and trying to get back his powers.

Dirk now needs to work with Christopher his foster brother to try to get her back to earth which is not easy to do. There are all manner of obstacles they have to get through including keeping ahead of the minions of a White Wizard who intend to get rid of him forever. Meanwhile, Sooz has won the Dark minions to her side since she had managed to get hold of his ring that she has put to good use. The minions assume that she is engaged to Dirk and this arouses their loyalty and devotion. She has been making changes that have overall improved the living conditions in the Darklands. But the White Wizard Hasdraban is not that easy to beat and takes Sooz captive. Dirk now has to risk everything to take back his land and get back Sooz. But will he turn into a true monster once he is back in the Darklands?
