Hello there! I don’t know if such books exist so bear with me.
I’m looking for a story that has one (or all) of the following elements:
1. Dark and gritty ambiance with aesthetics that bring to mind cold, blue steel light.
2. Sense of realism where from the start we feel transported to medieval times and only after a moment we discover the world has some fantasy sprinkled on it.
3. Magic is a scary and vague concept for most people and stems from irl legends. It’s less “alchemy business” and more like “changelings and fairy dust” atmosphere, at least until you dig deeper.
Thank you for reading this and thank you for any recommendations!
