Dragons once ruled the skies. Magic carried a price. And the line between hero and monster was never as clear as the stories promised.
Fantasy Tales of Magic & Monsters opens the first gateway in the Strange Portals series with two richly imagined fantasy stories and an original essay celebrating the genre itself. Within these pages, readers will encounter wyverns and dragon knights, ambitious sorceresses, ancient magic, and the dangerous choices that shape legends.
In The Wyvern Rider, a young messenger and his unlikely mount challenge the rigid traditions of dragon warfare, proving that speed, trust, and resolve can change the course of history.
In The Cost of Magic, a desperate woman seeks power at any price-only to discover that magic always keeps its own ledger, and the debt always comes due.
Between these tales lies Why We Need Fantasy, a reflective essay that traces the roots of the genre-from its mythic foundations to its modern resurgence-and explores why stories of magic and monsters continue to matter.
Lavishly illustrated and designed as a magazine-style reading experience, this volume is a tribute to classic fantasy-where wonder and danger walk hand in hand, and every portal leads somewhere unforgettable.
Enter carefully.
Some worlds give you what you want.
Others give you what you deserve.
