Every legend has a shadow. We grew up hearing stories of creatures that lurk in the dark, spirits that wander the earth, and beings that live beyond the world we know. But what if the stories we inherited were never the whole truth? Tales in the Shadows is a collection of short, twisted retellings inspired by Philippine folklore. Each story takes a familiar myth, legend, or creature and looks beyond the fear surrounding it-to the stories, emotions, and truths that may have been forgotten. The monsters may not always be monsters. The spirits may not always be cruel. And the legends may not always belong to the people who told them. Some stories hide pain. Some hide love. Some hide warnings. And some have been waiting in the shadows for someone to finally listen. These are the tales you thought you knew. These are the tales hiding in the shadows.

Fair Neplepa read the letter, one time, and a second, and a third, and she looked out of the window of her gloomy tower, at her rocks and pines, and she thought of the King’s marble halls, the busy streets and squares of his capital, all the sights and sounds of a city, all those things she had only ever heard of in stories, and the long row of suitors already rebuffed by her father, and the brief bloom of beauty, and her father’s unbending nature and her father’s robust health. She read the letter a fourth time. Then she wrote back to the King.
