Dragons. They are more than a memory from an age of wizards and heroes. These winged, fire-breathing beasts soar through the traditions of many lands, and through our dreams. In their many guises - Western or Eastern, reptile or lizard or serpent, wyvern, hydra, basilisk - dragons embody everything that we humans call magic. In this volume of the acclaimed 'Future Chronicles' anthology series, twelve authors invite you to journey to very different worlds - lands of fire and fury, of legend and lore - but all worlds where dragons roam unshackled from myth, freed from the imagination, and real. "The Dragon Chronicles" features stories by bestselling authors Elle Casey (War of the Fae), David Adams (Ren of Atikala), K.J. Colt (Klawdia), Terah Edun (Courtlight), and Daniel Arenson (Dragonlore) plus seven more of today's most visionary authors in fantasy and speculative fiction.
