New York Times bestselling author TJ Klune invites you back to the land of Verania in a new collection of short stories starring the beloved characters from the Tales of Verania series. In the opening story--The Unicorn in the Tower--Gary is a princess trapped in a stone tower by the evil Lady Tina DeSilva, who plans on sacrificing him on the first full moon after his eighteenth birthday. With help from his friends--a bird named Tiggy and a mangy weasel called Sam--Gary interviews potential suitors to rescue him and love him above all others, as he so rightly deserves. The Unicorn in the Tower is followed by Sam and the Beanstalk, wherein a poor farm boy exchanges his family''s bull for magical beans and the promise of treasure in the sky. But when he climbs the beanstalk, Sam finds things are not as he expected them to be. The Good Boy sees Todd and his immaculate ears taking center stage. When Todd''s father dies, he leaves his son in the care of his evil stepmother and two stepsiblings who live to make Todd''s life a living hell. It''s not until the household receives an invitation to attend a ball for the mysterious Sir that Todd begins to wish for a life beyond what he knows. David''s Dragon, the final--and only canonical--tale, is set a thousand years before the rise of the Dark wizard Myrin. It begins simply: a lonely boy in a small village befriends a dragon. What follows is a story of love and sacrifice, hope and heartbreak, and what it means to earn your place amongst the stars. Welcome back to Verania. It''s going to be a hell of a ride.

"Robbie Fontaine has gone from pack to pack in search of love and a place to call home. When he finally finds what he has been looking for, he feels empty. Strange wolves invade his dreams and the moon begs him to return to his house. He must deal with the threat from the Bennetts and figure out who the traitor is"--Amazon.

Credete nell’amore a prima vista? Paul Auster non ci crede. Anzi, lui non crede quasi a nulla. È un trentenne di taglia abbondante, che svolge un lavoro tedioso in un anonimo cubicolo e le cui doti riconosciute sono l’umorismo pungente e il modo colorito con cui commenta il trascorrere della sua vita. I suoi migliori amici sono un cane con due zampe di nome Rotelle e una drag queen che sfiora il bipolarismo, Helena Handbasket. Ha un nemico giurato, il pappagallo omofobo di sua nonna, a cui si ripromette di tirare il collo, se lo insulterà un’altra volta. Poi arriva Vince Taylor, che è il suo esatto opposto: sexy, sicuro di sé, e più stupido di una gallina. E, per qualche ragione misteriosa, Vince comincia a fargli il filo. Senza sosta. Sicuramente si starà prendendo gioco di Paul, perché non è possibile che un tipo così sia interessato a un perdente come lui. Ma dopo aver investito Vince con la propria auto – senza volerlo, si intende, al massimo sarebbe stato un omicidio colposo – Paul è obbligato a considerarlo con occhi diversi, e scopre che l’unico ostacolo tra loro è rappresentato proprio da se stesso: un ostacolo quasi insormontabile. Quando Vince si trova ad affrontare un doloroso evento famigliare, Paul deve mettere da parte i propri dubbi per stare accanto all’uomo che lo trova perfetto così com’è.

Once upon a time, the wizard''s apprentice, Sam of Wilds, got his happily ever after in the arms of his cornerstone, Knight Commander Ryan Foxheart. A year has passed, and while Sam''s been captured five or six more times since then, things are pretty great. His parents are happy, Gary and Tiggy still eat sass for breakfast, Randall is somehow alive despite being older than the gods, the King rules with a gentle hand, Kevin the dragon is as gross as ever, Morgan sighs a lot, Ryan continues to be dashing and immaculate, and Sam is close to convincing Prince Justin they will be best friends forever. Life is good. Until it''s not. Because Vadoma, the leader of the gypsy clan and Sam''s grandmother, has come to the City of Lockes with a dire prophecy written in the stars: a man of shadows is rising and will consume the world unless Sam faces his destiny and gathers the five dragons of Verania at his side. And she brings along her second-in-command, a man named Ruv. Ruv, who Vadoma says is Sam''s true cornerstone.

Once upon a time, in an alleyway in the slums of the City of Lockes, a young and somewhat lonely boy named Sam Haversford turns a group of teenage douchebags into stone completely by accident.

When Sam''s 14, he enters the Dark Woods and returns with Gary, the hornless gay unicorn, and a half-giant named Tiggy, earning the moniker Sam of Wilds. At 15, Sam learns what love truly is when a new knight arrives at the castle - Knight Ryan Foxheart, the dreamiest dream to have ever been dreamed. Naturally, it all goes to hell when Ryan dates the reprehensible Prince Justin, Sam can''t control his magic, a sexually aggressive dragon kidnaps the prince, and the king sends them on an epic quest to save Ryan''s boyfriend, all while Sam falls more in love with someone he can never have. Or, so he thinks.

It''s not until the impossible happens and a man falls from the sky and leaves the burning imprint of wings on the ground that he begins to understand that the world around him is more mysterious than he could have possibly imagined. It''s also more dangerous, as forces beyond anyone''s control are descending on Roseland, revealing long hidden truths about friends, family, and the man named Calliel who Benji is finding he can no longer live without.
