A series about how one small thing can change the world. It started with whispers—secrets mortals were not supposed to know. The words themselves have been lost to time, but their meaning is still understood. The consequences grow ever-present as time passes; as shadows take form and fulfill its master’s will. But within the past, present, and future, scattered all across the land are the people and their stories that could change the course of fate. The Butterfly Effect features LGBTQIA+ characters. The Butterfly Effect is written as a series of moderately independent stories, bound together by a common world. Join a wide range of characters—from nobility to commoners to those barely able to be described as human—on their trips of exploration and discovery of the world around them.
