Katt soared down the zipline from her treehouse with Mariah, the lioness, running below in her shadow along the deep soft green forest floor. Feeling like she was flying, her senses took in the beauty of her world where all forms of life thrived together in peace and harmony. Inheriting the Guardianship of this magical world when Katt was so young didn't change the fact that she was responsible for protecting it. For centuries the creatures have trusted the Vindexa Clan Guardians to keep them and their world safe from the outside "regular" world's intrusions. But nothing is as certain as change. Will Katt be able to fully understand, embrace, and grow with inevitable changes? Can she protect her world, or will it be overcome, spoiled by sudden intrusions and events coming one after the other? Can she do this without resorting to violence? She must prevail, the peace and harmony must be preserved. But her abilities are still developing, how evolved will she become? Her world believes in her. Welcome to Veridesia.

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.
