A Gift in the Dark is a compilation of short works, many based around old myths and legends, and starts with a tale of a miner's descent into madness, history and legend, drifts through darkness, past a retelling of Red Riding Hood, up a crane, and along to the end of the world.

While Eva struggles to embrace the life she fears she must live, a secret rebellion is going on behind the alien government's watchful eyes.
