About Dark Horse

As the industrialized world crumbles under the yoke of a genetic supremacist organization, the Fae Folk begin to reemerge: some wishing to aid in man’s struggle, others wishing to bring mankind to its knees. From the ashes of man’s plight rise seven unlikely heroes imbued with the power to save, or destroy, all that exists.

Dark Horse is a post-apocalyptic fantasy

Beginning in the late 1990s, but stretching into a future where modern civilization is terrorized by demons and humans alike, Dark Horse trails the lives of two best friends forced to take their future into their own hands.
