Shadow's Play: Three Twisted Tales

The Myrk Maiden Trilogy

by Alyssa Charpentier

A pious man. An unbeliever. A child of darkness. Three men and three fates.

Short stories within the universe of the Myrk Maiden Trilogy.

Follow the fates of three men in this triple-tale short story collection as each is subjected to the wiles of the Shadows, devious dark sorcerers who hunger for human flesh—or at least human destruction. Not all who preach piousness are safe. The delusions of the distrustful do not dilute reality. And the snares that snag a man's soul will remain… unless anyone can show him the light.
