Out of Dark Waters

The hunter waits in silent waters, biding its time to rise and feed. A dark presence stalks this story’s heroes, if they may be called heroes at all. Petty adventurers, in truth, bent on gold and ale, barely hoping to make something of themselves. They are the stoic warrior, seeking vengeance. The priestess, struggling to believe. The elderly gnome, stumbling on ancient spells. And Vander, a failed soldier and a broken man, waking from nightmares of dragonfire.

But something crueler than their memories will find them, a devouring spirit. With luck as much as skill they may escape its hunger once. Even twice. But the hunter does not give up its prey. If they are to survive, they must learn to trust themselves as well as each other. They must forgive themselves for past mistakes, to face the future. Then, perhaps, they may become something more than they ever expected.

Out of Dark Waters is a dark adventure inspired by the classic fantasy of the 80’s and 90’s. It blends humor, mystery, and cosmic horror with the wonder of high fantasy to tell a story of forgiveness, redemption, and friendship.
