The Not So Great Jimmy

Edward was once a King of Shadows, a necromancer who turned holy priests into cowards and commanded the very legions of the dead. Now, he is Jimmy—a freckled, orange-haired preschooler whose greatest enemies are a lunch lady and a stubborn bathroom door handle. Trapped in a world of horseless carriages and the sensory overload of "ice cream," Edward is determined to reclaim his dark throne. But he soon discovers he wasn't reincarnated by chance. He has been marked with a soul-curse and "saved" from the void by a mysterious Master who claims Edward is the only weapon capable of slaying the spirit-queen Mavra before she breaches the wall between worlds. To survive the coming invasion, Edward must navigate the humiliations of kindergarten while bonding with Victor—a sarcastic, shape-shifting shadow bound to his soul. With a new body that threatens to convert his own life force into fuel with every spell, Edward realizes that traditional sorcery won't be enough. If he wants to protect his new "peasant" family and defeat an ancient evil, the King of the Dead is going to have to trade his spellbook for a gun and merge his dark arts with the deadly science of the modern world.
