Dark Lord of Derkholm by Diana Wynne Jones
Dark Lord of Derkholm (1998) is a delightful young adult story for those who like a heavy dose of satire in their fantasy. Similar to Diana Wynne Jones’ The Tough Guide to Fantasyland, it pokes fun of the genre we love by exposing and exploiting some of its most common clichés.
The story takes place in a world parallel to ours to which people can travel and pay to have an adventure.
