   Summary

   Alice, an asocial young woman, begins to notice a strange phenomenon: people are acting angrier and more aggressive than ever, with no obvious cause. She discovers that a dark force called Depravity is to blame, and she must unite with a group of legendary warriors called the Ephemerals to restore the balance of light and darkness and save the eight nations of Fairylyl from the dark forces threatening their peace and safety. With its immersive worldbuilding, diverse cast of characters, and complex themes, The Dark Fable is the perfect read for fans of animanga, fantasy, sci-fi, action, and adventure. An epic battle of light and darkness, a quest to restore truth and balance, and a journey to save the world: welcome to The Dark Fable.
