Monsters aren’t always what they seem, and morality is never simple…

A dark fantasy bundle featuring four short stories conjured by the Arcanist Guild.

The Night Before by James Lloyd Dulin—No one cares much when thirty reprobates go missing in as many weeks, except a pragmatic city watch sergeant who's been passed over for promotion one too many times.

Saltwater Blades and Second Names by Benjamin Aeveryn—When a strange predator strays into a tribe’s territory, a young mother sets out to prove herself as a hunter.

The Ash Warden by Jonathan Neves Mayers—When survivors on both sides of a war discover that their fragile peace depends on feeding a mysterious entity, they slowly uncover the true cost of coexistence and the turmoil that has consumed their world.

Recompense by B. S. H. Garcia—After her coven is slaughtered, a captive witch must reclaim her power before her identity is erased and her body made a vessel of subjugation.
