Duology! Yes!

Davi has been living for a 1000 years and dying, and dying. Horrible deaths. All cos this old wizard said she was the chosen one. So in the last book she said EFF this and decided to become the dark lord instead. She has won the title, gathered a horde, has a smexy Orc lady to bed and now...wait now what? I mean she does not want to go and kill all humans.

And that is where we are, what now? She has made friends, and enemies. She still does not understand this world, since she is from earth. And how can she get out of this time loop?

I liked Davi, she was snarky, and hey I would have lost my mind long ago. She has tried everything through out the years.

I liked it, and even more I liked that it was a duology

Davi has done this all before. She's tried to be the hero and take down the all-powerful Dark Lord. A hundred times she's rallied humanity and made the final charge. But the time loop always gets her in the end. Sometimes she's killed quickly. Sometimes it takes a while. But she's been defeated every time.

This time? She's done being the hero and done being stuck in this endless time loop. If the Dark Lord always wins, then maybe that's who she needs to be. It's Davi's turn to play on the winning side.
