Twilight Tales:
A House of Bones and Knots

Once upon a time, there was a house of shattered skulls and broken bones...

The forest breathes a promise of darkness as Ylwa and her younger brother make their way home from the frostbitten midwinter market. The day has slipped away, and they are forced to take the perilous shortcut through the trees—a place where the horrors of the midwinter night stir and stretch their limbs—if they are to reach home before nightfall. There, they encounter the mountain trolls. Her brother is taken. Ylwa runs.

But her heart burns with a single vow: she will return for him, no matter the cost.

Roderick has searched the realms for the mythical Illuminis amulet. When Ylwa storms into his hideout, wild with desperation and demanding that he lead her into the trolls’ lair on the most cursed night of the year, he thinks she’s lost her mind. But when he sees the fire in her eyes—and suspects she may carry what he’s been hunting—he agrees. Not because he trusts her, but because he needs her. And he knows: if he is to uncover the truth, he must gain her trust. That trust is the key. And the key may yet unlock something far darker than either of them expects.

Together, they journey deep into a forest where knots of fate tighten with every step, and the house that waits for them is woven from bone, grief, and ancient magic.

A House of Bones and Knots is a haunting reimagining of the tale of Hansel and Gretel—brimming with secrets, enchanted places, and a creeping sense of dread. In this world, fairytales breathe, bleed, and bind.
