Fairy Tales and Shadows

Fantasy Short Stories for All

Fairy Tales and Shadows introduces a world of magic and splendor through a diverse set of characters who each star in their own fairy tale-style stories. As the book progresses, the stories and characters begin to overlap and come together, transforming the book from a collection of fairy tales to a plot-driven novel.

Each story presents morals, much like classic fairy tales. The difference is that these morals have been modernized. Instead of teaching children not to wander through wolf-infested woods at night, Fairy Tales and Shadows promotes ideas like love coming in all shapes and sizes.

Throughout the book, the magic system and geography of the world are illuminated as the heroes learn from their tribulations. Eventually, the values of each character and their relationship with the world culminate to set the stage for the final conflict.
