When Gav wakes up surrounded by fire in a dark wizard's lair, he is concerned. When Gav realizes that he is the dark wizard Gavrax and he's in the middle of an evil plot, he gets much more concerned. Now Gav's got to figure his way through this situation with a castle full of goblins, a princess in his dungeon, and no memories of who he is or what he was doing.

This was an incredibly fun read. Gav is a fantastic character grappling with what it means to be someone who was evil but is now trying to be something a little better. I loved all the characters as Gav slowly realized that no one was how he, or Gavrax, originally assumed.

Thanks to netgalley and the publisher for an ARC in exchange for an honest review.
