Folklore (FANTASY)

Folklore is a dark, enchanting fantasy set in a world where ancient myths and legends come to life-and where the boundary between the real and the supernatural is disturbingly thin. In the kingdom of Eryndor, folklore is not just a collection of stories told around campfires; it's a living, breathing force that shapes the lives of its people. Myths of creatures that lurk in the shadows, powerful spirits that dwell in the forest, and ancient gods who demand sacrifice are not simply believed-they are real. The story follows Maeve, a young woman from a small, quiet village on the outskirts of Eryndor, where life is dictated by old customs and stories passed down through generations. When Maeve's sister, Iris, goes missing after a night spent at the edge of the enchanted forest, Maeve is thrust into a world where the folklore she thought was just superstition begins to blur into horrifying reality. Desperate to find her sister, Maeve embarks on a perilous journey into the heart of the forest, where she is forced to confront ancient beings who once ruled the world but were forgotten as time passed. These powerful, ageless entities, known as the Keepers, are responsible for the stories that have long been told-some benevolent, others terrifying, but all bound by the magic of the land itself. As Maeve ventures deeper into the mythical realms, she discovers that Iris has been taken by a creature from a forgotten legend: the Morrighan, a dark, shadowy figure who feeds on fear and whose power can change the very course of fate. With the help of an enigmatic guide named Rowan, a young man with his own mysterious past connected to the ancient folklore, Maeve learns that she is part of an ancient prophecy. Her bloodline holds a secret that could either restore balance to the world or unravel it completely. To save her sister-and the world as she knows it-Maeve must uncover the truth about the Keepers, the forgotten gods, and the very nature of the myths that govern their existence. Folklore is a spellbinding fantasy filled with rich world-building, dark magic, and haunting creatures that blur the line between myth and reality. Themes of family, destiny, and the power of stories themselves are woven through every page, as Maeve confronts the ancient forces that seek to control the fate of the world. In a land where every legend holds a kernel of truth, Maeve must navigate the complexities of a world built on stories-and decide whether she will become a part of the folklore herself.
