Nightlord

"I've awakened in a stone box about the size of a large coffin… I'm filthy, everything aches, and, by the various so-called gods, I smell awful. "I've woken up in worse places. "Hmm. What does that say about my life choices?" -Eric, amateur magician, part-time vampire, and accidental king. It's not easy, being King. Especially when you've got an allergy to sunrise and sunset, a fire-goddess for a mother-in-law, demonic adversaries, random assassins, and a basement full of insecurities to cope with. Add to that his daughter, the fire-priestess/princess, a couple of lightly-deranged professional magicians, a whole city full of wizards, and enough squabbling princes to resemble a kindergarten argument. It's enough to make a man want to just go home. Luckily for Eric, he has the world's fastest pet rock, a smart-mouthed sword, and a horse that not only understands him, but likes him anyway. "An awful lot of young ladies seem to be up all night, wandering around the halls on the off-chance they'll bump into the King when he's in the mood for a snack. Since when did I become sexy? And why didn't anybody warn me it was going to be work?" -Eric, elder geek and occasional idiot.
