The Book of Lost Innocence

If you love dark fantasy with mythic undertones, tragic romance and moral depth — this might just be your next favourite read.
In these haunting fantasy stories, winning has dire consequences, and losing means the end of the world. Whether chasing love, honour, fame, or salvation, each character walks a razor’s edge between hope and ruin. From cursed monarchs and soul-bargaining lovers to beastly truths and doomed heroes, these are tales where innocence is lost, and nothing is ever the same again.
Enter a world where fantasy bleeds into nightmare. Not everyone survives the journey—and those who do may wish they hadn’t.
The Book of Lost Innocence wins 2026 Independent Press Award FAVORITE in the category of Anthology.
FAVORITES are not automatic (meaning this second place does not need to be given in any category), and are special. They are called Distinguished Favorites for that reason.
