Once upon a time, something wicked was woven. A magic was formed by darkness and pain, a magic that only the victim of a broken heart could have created. The death of her one true love has forced Goldalynn to use dark magic. Determined to bring him back she discovers she must acquire the pelts of three bears under the light of the blue moon to fulfill the spell. The blue moon has risen and the three bears are caged, awaiting the fate of Goldalynn's deadly spell. Then a collision of spells, magic dark and light create a curse.

Now these bears in human bodies must travel across the magical realms of the modern world searching for a way to break the curse. This dark fairy tale is not the book your mother read you when tucking you in at night; you won't find a fairy tale princess who needs a rescue, but there might be a prince or three in this world. Find out as Beary Tales takes you on a magically twisted adventure.
