The Dark Wizard Of Donkerk is a 2016 novel by Alexander Wales, written as part of the 2016 NaNoWriMo (although arguably, it was not technically a successful entry since he wrote some amount of it in 2015 as a NaNoWriMo).Omarr and Hirrush, two dark wizards in the medieval kingdom of Donkerk, have acquired an infant boy from a local orphanage and plan to sacrifice him for great power. And, well, neither one of them can go through with it. And so they christen the child Henry and begin raising him in their ways, with the help of a local witch, Adrianna. Complicating things, they decide on one last kidnapping (previously their way of raising money), this time of the royal princess (due to her sex and her older brother, they assume that she will be worth a large ransom, but not enough for a manhunt). The kidnapping is successful, but not only does Henry find himself infatuated with the unexpectedly human princess, their crime also results in a massive manhunt for black magic (it was always illegal, but largely left alone as long as they restricted their harm to voluntary sacrifice). Further complicating things, it seems that there is a prophecy that the princess will fall prey to a dark wizard, and will be saved by an orphan, an orphan born in a destined place and at a destined time that match up with Henry...Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })

Clingy MacGuffin: The Boreal Crown cannot be taken from the rightful heir. Even if they throw it away, all they have to do is think of it, and it is once again on their head.

Bad Powers, Good People: Regarding dark magic, Henry. And maybe Omarr... Dark Magic is based on sacrifice, but it is possible to do good things with it. The catch is that calculating whether a usage is ethical may involve calculating the worth of an individual life versus others, and some don't bother with the voluntary aspect of the sacrifice. Still, Henry tries to do good, and Omarr at least tries not to leave the world worse than it was before.

Bastard Bastard: Late in the novel, it's revealed that Rowan is not the King's son, which is why they were never truly considered for the line of succession. It fuels their resentment and their drive to master dark magics.
