Queste favole nascono come pegno d'amore, e si sente. Sono favole per adulti che non hanno mai smesso di sentirsi bambini, di chiedersi il perché delle cose, di avere amici immaginari, di sognare amori che durano per sempre e mondi governati dalle leggi della fantasia. Come sono nati il giorno e la notte? Come fanno ad amarsi due innamorati che vivono su pianeti lontani? Che fareste voi nei panni del Silenzio, costretto a custodire i segreti di miliardi di persone? Se l'amore fosse una strada che nessuno sa dove porta, vi mettereste in marcia per percorrerla?

Way back when they were in wizards' school together, Elerius was the best student the teachers had ever seen, but Daimbert barely managed to get out with a diploma after all that embarrassment with the frogs. Now, years later, Elerius has served as Royal Wizard at a series of ever bigger and more powerful kingdoms while Daimbert has remained wizard of the tiny kingdom of Yurt and may be the only person who can make the world safe for mediocrity.

For over a century, the Vikings were the most feared fighting force the world had ever seen—none greater than Holger the Dane. Having won all the wars of his time, the undefeated Viking warrior is said never to have died. Instead, legends say he sleeps, his body turned into a mighty stone statue residing deep within the casemates of Castle Kronborg. Clad in armor, with sword and shield at the ready, Holger remains in an enchanted sleep--ever with one eye open--and only to awake should danger ever rise again to threaten his beloved Denmark.

Two groups of people, maligned and sometimes despised. Two groups of people that live and exist among us in the cities we have created to feed our enterprise. We try our best not to see them for they remind us of our failures and mistakes. The thin line that divides us from their fate. To see them is to remember that they too have feelings, just as we do. They have stories to tell, just as we do. Out of one such story, we find a boy. A boy born out of his time, blessed with an irrepressible spirit and a keen intelligence; streetwise and independent of nature.

When Theo returns with surprising information, Rose knows the time has come to risk everything.

Rose, the princess of Rhone, doomed to fall into a sleeping death on her 18th birthday, has only ever wanted two things in all her life: to be free of her curse and to never fall in love. After securing the dragon's blood from the Serpent's Garden, Rose is confident she has all she needs to free herself from Magdalina's curse. But when Magdalina comes to offer Rose a new deal - one that would free her from her curse, while also eliminating future threats - Rose is forced to confront the truth of her feelings for Theo.

Daimbert the wizard just wants to spend some quality time with his daughter Antonia. He loves his peaceful kingdom of Yurt, but he and those around him are increasingly finding themselves hampered by their society's strictures and silent rules. The king doesn't want to marry any of the princesses offered to him, the duchess' twin daughters want to be respectively a knight and a priest, and Daimbert himself is forbidden by the norms of wizardry from a liaison with a witch - much less having a daughter.

Love and wizardry don't mix - and neither do magic and the church. When the wizard Daimbert discovers the woman he loves is going to marry someone else, he flees to the nearby city of Caelrhon. Even though strange creatures of wild magic have been spotted in the city, no one wants him there, not the bishop of the cathedral, not the crown prince, not the city council, not even the masters of institutionalized wizardry. But Daimbert senses sinister forces at work, and besides, he's just met a very intriguing witch....
