<p> <strong> <em> Tale of Tales </em> </strong> is a high fantasy based on the motifs of ancient myths, legends, and forgotten fairytales; a dark epic fantasy of sword and sorcery, invoking many old Eastern European folklore mythical creatures (vampires and werevolves, witches and demigods, but also three kin of dragons and more mystical beings like ala, dusk imps, or demon wolves – the last two of which feature on the first book's cover). </p> <p> <em> "Above this hellish pack and the rider at the forefront, flurried a ghastly sight – a cloud of dark, endlessly bustling bodies and wings, a swarm of creatures that, through their almost infinite number, produced that great din which had first reached the ears…" </em> </p> <p> <strong> Book one, <em> A Strange Bunch </em> </strong> , begins with Senka, a spirited girl who one day returns from the woods with her dog to see her entire world in flames. As all she knows crumbles before her eyes, she is blinded by her house's guardian snake and forced to flee, pursued by what seems like darkness itself. Pulled unwittingly into a tumult of mysterious forces wrestling over the very fate of the world, she ventures to find her own path and purpose. On her desperate journey, she encounters remarkable characters, one after another gathering around her in a series of seeming accidents. Forging unlikely friendships, they scramble to survive and grasp the rapidly unfolding events. As the earth and sky shift about them, this enigmatic party of wanderers gradually discover their hidden powers reach beyond mere mortals, powers they will need to embrace as ancient dark forces awake and sweep across the land. </p> <p> This is a progression fantasy that goes slowly, throughout the whole series, despite the books being fast-paced and action-packed, with occasional jumps in power of characters after certain encounters that may or may not be accidental. </p> <p> <strong> RELEASE SCHEDULE </strong> is about once a week. The entire series should take around two and a half years of weekly chapters/episodes, so do encourage me by reacting and following. </p>
