Wonders and Dragons: A Midwest Fantasy Sampler will whisk you away to distant shores and far-off peaks, introducing ten stories drawn from ten fantasy series, each by a different Midwestern author.

M.R. Moraine and C.E. Linares have crafted a four-chapter story that takes place during Valkys of the Greater Wilds. This addition, titled Hugo’s Rise, follows the tale of Hugo Brindor and his encounter with the Valkys—some who seek to harm him, and others who may be his only hope.
Hugo’s struggle for survival and his personal growth unfold as he becomes entangled in the complex lives of the Sukwa. Through them, he begins to understand not only their world—but himself. Ultimately, Hugo’s Rise offers a meaningful and enriching new perspective within the world of Nevold.
