About this listen
Magical makeovers are a messy business.
But how was junior arcane lecturer Gerome to know his attempt to improve a part of his anatomy would open a portal to the Shade Planes? Or, worse, unleash the all-powerful “Harbinger of the New Dark”–fondly or not nicknamed Al?
Utterly broke and burdened with demon (literally), Gerome begrudgingly joins a shady nobleman’s quest to free the stronghold of Elderstay from a powerful curse. His dysfunctional crew–the insufferable siblings Bijan and Najib, the perpetually moody Polly, and the enigmatic green-skinned Sha-sha–have more problems than they can wave a wand at. Walking corpses and ritual blood circles aside, Gerome is running out of time. At any moment, Al might break free and end the world. As for the horrors that await them in Elderstay?
Let's just say the "New Dark" is the least of their worries....
In this humorous dark fantasy novel, The Demon of Elderstay spins a witty, emotionally deep, thoroughly unorthodox hero’s journey with action, magic, and a thrilling story that will stay with you for years to come.
*CONTENT WARNING*
While intended to be fun and humorous, this audiobook contains references to: drug consumption, violence using fantasy magic, mass killings, the death of a child, suicidal thoughts, demons, demonic possession, allusions to homophobia, misogyny, the occasional swear word, a protagonist who is queer, ginger, and a gnome. I reiterate: ginger. Listeners who may be sensitive to these elements, please take note.
