Tinker Tailor Soldier Sailor (Tinker Tailor Series Book 1)

Four Dark Fairy Tales For Grown-Ups

Four beautifully written dark tales where magic comes at a price, bargains are deadly, and love is never simple.

In these twisted reimaginings of folklore, heroes and villains are not easily told apart, and every choice cuts deep:

🌙 The Tinker’s Curse – A wandering tinker is drawn to a moonlit pool and the princess he once loved. Fourteen days remain to break a curse—or lose her forever.

👑 The Tailor’s Bargain – A clever tailor with a modern mindset faces a medieval nightmare: goblins have stolen his baby and left a changeling in her place. The Goblin King offers a deadly challenge of three impossible tasks, but there may be a trick to beating him at his own game…

🪵 The Wall of Mistress Gefn – Two Viking fugitives seek shelter in a strange garden, only to be trapped by a mysterious woman who sets them to rebuilding a crumbling wall. Freedom is promised, but there are two gates—and only one leads home.

🌊 The Sailor and the Sea Queen – When his wife dies in childbirth, a grieving sailor cannot love the daughter she left behind. The moor-folk steal neglected children. When she vanishes, he sails into a realm of sea-magic and heartbreak to face a choice no parent should make.

Not all fairy tales end happily ever after.

Perfect for fans of Neil Gaiman,  Angela Carter, and grim folklore.
