Shared Beauty is a dark fairy tale about jealousy, friendships lost, and aging, set in a fictional medieval German village.
Once upon a time, there was a poor village—one you and your friends hope a marriage to The Honourable Odan will save.
In an attempt to help the beautiful Faralda secure the noble's heart, you convince her to undergo a spell of youth and beauty. The noble falls head over heels for her, and all seems to be well.
It's only when the rest of you notice signs of premature—and rapid—aging that the spell's real cost is known.
Will you sacrifice your life for the village's—and love's—sake? Or will jealousy and desperation consume you?
