Reader's Guide
Dagger Kiss holds significance as a pioneering work in LGBT fantasy media. According to Divine Magazine, it is described as 'the first time a fantasy series, TV show or movie has had two lead female characters who are explicitly lovers.' The series has been called 'a lesbian Lord of the Rings,' highlighting its cultural impact as a female, LGBT take on standard fantasy-adventure tales. All eight episodes were released weekly from February to April 2016 on Tello Films, with Williams beginning YouTube releases in March 2016.
