The Lightning-Struck Heart by T.J. Klune follows Sam Haversford, a young wizard whose accidental display of power in the slums of the City of Lockes leads to an unexpected apprenticeship under the King’s Wizard. Growing up alongside a hornless gay unicorn named Gary and a gentle half-giant named Tiggy, Sam becomes known as Sam of Wilds and is drawn into court politics, magical mishaps, and an increasingly complicated love for the knight Sir Ryan Foxheart. When a dragon abducts the unpleasant Prince Justin, Sam and his friends are sent on a dangerous rescue mission that mixes absurd humor with genuine peril. The novel blends queer romance, irreverent comedy, and classic fantasy adventure with dragons, magic, and an emotionally confused hero at its center.

Fairytales From Verania by T.J. Klune gathers four fantasy short stories that remix familiar fairy-tale structures with the irreverent, queer-centered humor of the Tales of Verania universe. Gary, recast as a unicorn princess in a tower, auditions would-be rescuers while plotting escape from Lady Tina DeSilva, and Sam trades a family bull for beans that lead to an unexpectedly strange beanstalk adventure. Another story follows Todd, whose life with a cruel stepfamily shifts when an invitation arrives from a mysterious noble. The closing and only canonical piece, set centuries before the main series, traces a boy’s bond with a dragon in a more earnest narrative of magic, love, and sacrifice.

The Damning Stone by T.J. Klune returns to the magical kingdom of Verania a year after Dark Wizard Myrin’s defeat, where the realm is rebuilding under Good King Anthony and Morgan of Shadows. Grand Prince Justin, dreading his future as king, is forced to confront an old political bargain when a magician-led delegation from Yennbridge arrives to claim his hand in marriage for their ruler. Justin’s attempt, with Sam, Ryan, Kevin, Gary, and Tiggy, to sabotage the visiting king’s plans goes badly wrong, altering his friends and leaving him unexpectedly isolated. As the King of Yennbridge persists in courting the so-called Ice Prince, the novel blends fantasy, queer romance, and irreverent humor with dragons and paranormal magic.
