Stand Alone Fantasy Titles, August 2012

In all conflicts between good and evil, good triumphs and the world is made right by this victory. But what if good was so triumphant that evil was eradicated? Would not the world crumble under the weight of imbalance. That is the conundrum faced by a set of villains in Eve Forward's clever debut novel, Villains By Necessity. In order to save the world from the evil of its over-indulged goodness, these villains must set forth to rekindle the proper balance of evil in the world, thereby restoring equilibrium and, in doing so, actually becoming heroes. A fun read cover-to-cover, with twists enough to keep readers enchanted. Not a particularly easy book to find, unfortunately.
