Writing Realistic Dark Fantasy

Back Porch Writer

Author Andy Peloquin explores the darker side of human nature through the filter of fantasy heroes, villains, and everything in between. He's also a freelance writer, a book lover, and a guy who just loves to meet new people. About Child of the Night Guild Viola, a child sold to pay her father's debts, has lost everything: her mother, her home, and her identity. Thrown into a life among criminals, she has no time for grief as she endures the brutal training of an apprentice thief. The Night Guild molds an innocent waif into a cunning, agile outlaw skilled in the thieves' trade. She has only one choice: steal enough to pay her debts. The cutthroat streets of Praamis will test her mettle, and she must learn to dodge the City Guards or swing from a hangman's rope. But a more dangerous foe lurks within the guild walls. A sadistic rival apprentice, threatened by her strength, is out for blood.
