Europe; the continent of fallen empires, vengeful Gods, lovers, myths, and legends. From the leshys of The White Forest in the east to the Fae and Wildlings of the west, Europe is home to a rich tapestry of folklore and, within these pages, we shall share those stories with you. Featuring a plethora of experienced and first-time indie writers, Lost Lores and Legends takes you on a journey of the fantastical, the romantic, the dark, and the desperate through three-hundred-and-fifteen tales of exactly one-hundred words. As you read, remember this: the legends are true... don't dare to forget.

Derek Power lives in Dublin, Ireland, and grew up on a healthy diet of fantasy stories and Celtic legends. The result of which was Filthy Henry, Ireland's first and foremost fairy detective who works cases with a Celtic mythological twist to them. Since Derek tends to not take life too seriously the tales of Filthy Henry are comedic fantasy in nature, which he finds much easier to write. When he isn't doing the day job or stealing a few minutes to work on his novels, Derek spends time with his wife, two young children and their dog.
