Queerdark

A band of outcast mercenaries bonded by more than their thirst for battle and gold. A monstrous curse of transformation that reveals a soldier's true self. A woman chosen as a lover by the great hero of prophecy... until she meets his captivating enemy, the villainous Usurper Queen.

Queer characters have often been cast as the villains, the monsters, the tragic figures--but never on their own terms. But not everyone wants to be a hero. The characters of these six dark fantasy stories choose to take the role of outcast, rebel, even monster.

And this time, they plan to win.
