One does not have to look too deep in the darkness to find the beauty that may lie within it.
Tales of the Beautifully Dark is an anthology of varying short stories that focus mainly on the genre of dark fantasy, with some elements of horror and even romance sprinkled throughout. Each story has a gritty element to it, whether it be graphic violence, scary scenes, creepy enemies, or intense trauma.
In 'Death in the Deep' we have a mermaid princess kidnapped and offered to a horrifying creature as a sacrifice. 'The Queen Without Sight' is a haunting and slightly gory tale of betrayal and hidden power. Things brighten up a bit with 'The Love of a Svetnika' when a famed hunter meets a witch, and the pair fall in love as they fight off dangerous monsters together. 'The Ring of Kallron' shows a darker side of a love story when the elf Navarre falls victim to the idea of true power and is tempted to give up everything he loves in order to obtain it. In the unique tale of 'The Lady Owl' we see the consequences of a mother's hatred for her child, and in 'The Queen's Greed' an obsession with beauty sees a queen desperately sacrifice her own people.
With fourteen stories in total, Tales of the Beautifully Dark has much to offer. The variety of stories include war, torture, assassinations, dark magic, betrayal, love, honor, loyalty, and legacy. Which story will be your favorite? Turn the page and find out!
