Dark Fantasy

[close] Friends forcing each other to read different Genres. If you need new material and chill vibes join the bun buns.

[close] This group is for those who dream of other lands. We devour heavy plots with extensive world-building and our libraries are littered with supernatural creatures. We love the new and exciting; the imaginative and magical; the dark and raw. We are princes and princesses, witches and warlocks, curse breakers and assassins. We are fantasy readers, and this is our space.

[close] Hero Dawn: The Shadow of Peace is about to hit the market. The extended world of Anthem and beyond is online for the world to see, but feel free to ask me anything. Want to learn more about the world? Want to learn about my writing process? Want to learn more about why I want to stop being a suit? Ask away fellow readers I'm a book that's as open as The Shadow of Peace once its out.

[close] "A Game of Thrones," "The Blade Itself," and "Prince of Thorns" are all part of the gritty and politically complex fantasy genre known for its mature themes, morally ambiguous characters, and intricate world-building. New Fantasy books (post 2025) by male authors of similar calibre will be added to this group, so other's with similar taste's needn't meander through mediocrity to find them. I've left a synopsis of my 3 favourite titles so you know what to expect; "A Game of Thrones" is the first book in George R.R. Martin's A Song of Ice and Fire series, a high fantasy epic known for its intricate political maneuvering, complex characters, and high stakes. "The Blade Itself" is the first book in Joe Abercrombie's The First Law series, a gritty fantasy known for its dark humor, morally grey characters, and realistic depiction of war and violence. "Prince of Thorns" is the first book in Mark Lawrence's The Broken Empire series, a dark fantasy known for its brutal world, morally ambiguous characters, and focus on power struggles.
