Everafter isn't the world you were told about as a child. It's what happens when the storybook closes and reality sets in—when princes turn out to be tyrants, when fairy godmothers demand payment in more than gratitude, and when the magic that saved you might be the same thing that destroys everything you love.

This is a realm where enchantments leave scars, where curses don't break cleanly, and where happy endings are just pretty lies we tell ourselves to sleep better at night. The kingdoms here are built on foundations of old bargains and older blood. Magic doesn't discriminate between hero and villain because those labels were always more complicated than the simple stories suggested.

In Everafter, the talking animals have their own agendas. The woods are genuinely dangerous, not just metaphorically. The beautiful people are often the most monstrous, and the monsters sometimes show the most humanity. Wishes granted always cost more than advertised, and true love's kiss can't fix the kind of damage that comes from living in a world where power, magic, and desperation intersect.

These aren't the sanitized tales meant for bedtime. These are the stories whispered in taverns after the children are asleep. The ones about what really happened to those princesses, woodsmen, and wayward children. The ones where "ever after" doesn't mean forever happy. It just means you survived long enough to see what comes next.

Welcome to Everafter. The fairy tales you thought you knew are about to show you what they've been hiding all along.
