What is Morally Grey?
Increasingly popular in romantasy and fantasy, morally grey characters are neither purely good nor purely evil, making choices that are selfish, ruthless, or ambiguous yet sympathetic. Their complexity drives reader fascination and pairs naturally with grimdark settings and antihero-led narratives.
