In the Age of the Dracon-esti, darkness and war ravage the continent of Draston. The dragons that once ruled the skies have died off and other horrors have since taken their place. To the south, dark rumors have surfaced of armies being massed, led by the Wicked Eye. The elves are slowly dying off, refusing to change with the winds of time. The dwarves have sealed themselves beneath their mountain, battling creatures from the depths. In this broken land, with the oncoming tides of evil, adventurers still search for lost treasures, companionship and a chance for their names to be put into songs of legend. These untold tales will introduce you to the bright and vibrant world of Harthx and its adventurers: a curious gnome reads a forbidden book; a nord endangers himself in an attempt to unite the five clans; a vampire searches for a way to regain his soul; two sisters search for a murderer in a forgotten city. Eleven exciting short stories, four talented young authors, one epic start to the Dragonband Saga!

Women of the Crystal Coast is a fantasy anthology that revolves around strong female characters and female empowerment. This anthology, like the two before it, takes place within the world of Harthx, on the continent of Draston. However, the stories will take place in the ancient times along the Crystal Coast. This will bring some unique features to the table that aren't seen very much in the fantasy genre, such as bronze metals instead of iron or steel, the lack of paper leaves wizards having to study their spells off cuneiform clay tablets instead of spell books, etc.
