The Law of Consequences

Every action has a consequence, some good, some less so, others of pure darkness…

Step into a fantastical world where every choice reverberates with magic, shaping destinies in wondrous and terrifying ways. Curated by W.A. Leggatt, S.C. Gowland, and G.M. White, this fantasy anthology explores the profound impact of the choices we make, featuring stories by a range of bestselling and award-winning authors.

From surprises in hessian sacks, pubs run by stone golems, a curious packed lunch, questionable drink choices, to copper urns (best avoided), dogs in space, horrifying boarding schools, families torn apart by war, brooding strangers and suspicious jars of marmalade.

Discover drama, treachery, love, and the unpredictable outcomes of our actions. Each of the twenty tales in The Law of Consequences reveals the delicate balance between destiny and free will, light and shadow, in just 20–30 minutes apiece. Enter with an open mind…

The Sand Witch’s Sandwich

My contribution to the anthology – “The Sand Witch’s Sandwich” – has never before been released! I first wrote the story of nine-year-old Ellie and ninety-year-old Ms Michaels over three years ago, and was quietly proud of it, but never could quite find the right home – that is, until now…

“The Sand Witch’s Sandwich” by G. B. Ralph tells the tale of a curious young girl, an eccentric old witch, and a capricious coastline. Pack your lunch and join Ellie as she clambers around the rocks to explore beyond the lighthouse. Be careful though, you never know what you might find…

Are you ready to explore? The Law of Consequences book cover. Background image: lighthouse on coastline. Fantasy anthology. 20 short stories. 20–30 minute reads. Bestselling and award-winning authors.
