A quick slice, the hearty thumpof a Unicorn collapsing into the grass....Welcome to Darkwood. In this, the most typical of fantasy worlds, magic mingles with science, andspooky and awesome creatures inhabit the ancient forests. Something, though,is... wrong. In addition to dragons and damsels, Darkwood is filled with a fewmodern problems. To name a few, natives slaughtered by overzealous real-estatedevelopers, a fantastic species on the brink of extinction, and a woman who hascombined her maidenhood and hunting skill to form an economicjuggernaut.
