Across the continent of Rellinghan, power rarely falls through war or conquest. More often, it disappears. Realm of Daggers is a dark fantasy collection of short stories following the Order, a secretive brotherhood of assassins who operate in the shadows of cities, ports, and noble courts. Their missions are small by design—targeting corrupt merchants, minor nobles, and quiet tyrants whose influence festers unnoticed. Each tale explores a different corner of the continent: coastal trade cities, inland strongholds, border towns, and forgotten roads where politics, greed, and violence quietly intersect. The Order’s work is meant to be precise and contained, but even controlled deaths leave ripples, and not all consequences remain local. These stories focus on atmosphere, character, and consequence rather than grand battles or chosen heroes, revealing how a fractured world is shaped by decisions made in silence. -------------------------------------------- Realm of Daggers is an ongoing collection.While these stories stand on their own, they are part of a larger universe. The main storyline set in this world is currently in development.
